Are you thinking of starting a business that requires the use of vehicles above 3.5 tonnes? Or perhaps your business can no longer sustain using smaller vans or trucks to transport materials from A to B and larger vehicles are required?
Many businesses in Scotland apply for an operator licence but often lack the necessary knowledge of the system and subject themselves to lengthy, drawn-out application processes.
A large percentage of applications received by the Central Licensing Office are either inaccurate or incomplete – at an RHA briefing in 2017, Senior Traffic Commissioner Richard Turfitt stated that at one point, 87% of applications received were of this nature.
This has an impact on the time it takes to process applications, meaning many prospective operators can be left frustrated and sometimes out of pocket if errors have been made with the advertising requirement. It also takes time and effort to keep on top of the application to ensure it is progressing in the correct manner.
We have been helping businesses to apply for an operator licence for 20 years, and have an acute knowledge of how applications are processed at the Central Licensing Office.
We will map out the likeliest outcome for your application at an early stage and will take time to perform thorough due diligence checks to ensure no unforeseen issue prevents you from getting an operator licence.

We will undertake all communication with your DVSA caseworker to resolve any requests for further information and will regularly update you on the progress of your application.
