Douchebag time. Question: An owner operator must have a margin on their new O licence for 1 truck AND 1 TRAILER if they are pulling someone else's trailer as a subbie traction only? Correct?

Only need margin for the trailer. Its recommended to have margin for a number of vehicles incase you have to hire one in to cover a breakdown but no requirement

If you only put An ad in the paper for one unit and no trailer you must still ask for trailer on the o licence application and state that you will never take a trailer to operating centre

Are u goin to drive around solo all day ? No !
Therefore even tho the trailers u pull don’t need to be specified on licence if not same trailer for more than 28 days. Which it won’t be !
Then u are still responsible for that trailer as an operator so you need licence to be one vehicle one trailer 💯
Ideally u want a margin
There is no requirement for further funding to have trailers so why wouldn’t you just do it any way
? 💯😎

Interesting.
What about trailers used on international work? They are registered and specified on an O licence. A trailer cant be on more than one O licence at the same time so if your pulling one for somebody else it has to be on their O licence not yours.
Or am I wrong?
