Hi does anyone know if you can obtain an operators licence without buying the truck yet? Or can you get away with buying a trailer first to cover you for the o licence?

I obtained my o licence 8 weeks prior to buying my lorry

A condition when apply for o licence is that the licence applicant/ holder must have “access” to a vehicle. This means that the holder owns at least one vehicle or has in place a formal contract with a hire company, other operator or other organization to hire one when needed.
I had a client of mine that when we applied he was asked by Tc to prove he has access to vehicle.

exactly, you can prove by sending them an agreement with a hire truck company. My client was in same situation and he had an agreement with a hire company

most of cases they don’t ask but in last time same case workers are asking

At the moment the OTC is very slow at best. It would be better to apply and then get wheels as if they deny it for any reason then you have not wasted your money. Get in touch with me as I help companies get their licence and do it right from the start.

You are best to obtain the o licence then by the truck, o licence is not guaranteed to be granted even if you're granted a interim

[sinlime]

You don't need buy truck to get it.
Truck you need for work if you decide start later you keep your OL
When you buy a truck add vehicle on your OL.
You need OL for get a truck but don't need a truck for get OL

[vikkLugents]

I didn’t own a truck or have a reg to put down before I got my license and I applied for mine sept 22. You’re best off getting your O license before buying a truck I would say. Then when it’s granted and you do eventually buy or lease you just update them with the reg. Also you could have an operators license for 6 trucks and only run one, you don’t have to own 6, what you apply for on the license is just the max.
