Disqualification for
Transport Manager as “Bread and Butter” tasks are not carried out
A transport manager has been disqualified for not carrying
out the very basic tasks required of a transport manager such as setting up
systems to monitor and record drivers hours, specifying the vehicles on the
companies O’Licence and managing of the O’Licence discs.
The transport manager admitted to not undertaking any form
of training since he qualified as a transport manager 22 years ago!!
The Traffic Commissioner who has disqualified the transport
manager has stated that the failings of tasks not carried out correctly are the
full responsibility of the Transport Manager.
The disqualified transport manager will not be able to
undertake any work as a Transport Manager in the future until he re-takes and passes the Transport Manager
CPC Course and Examinations.

This is a strong message sent out by the traffic
commissioner that they are not going to allow Transport Managers to continue in
their roles if ongoing training is not undertaken.

In addition to the Transport Manager being disqualified the
operator also had fallen short of his
O’Licence obligations.
The operator ( O’Licence Holder ) had no formal contract
with the transport manager so there was no genuine link between the licence
holder and the transport manager, which in turn showed the licence holder did
not have professional competence and for a standard licence holder that is a
mandatory requirement.
Furthermore to the above after a DVSA investigation it found
the company did not have a company card to download the vehicle units and the
traffic Commissioner had not been notified to a change of maintenance service
provider.
This is why it is important that licence holders are fully
aware of the duties of what their transport manager is required to do.
