I’ve been reading but can’t find clear definitive answer I can understand ,
Do I need a o licence to operate a recovery truck over 3.5 tonnes ?Let’s assume the vehicle satisfies the definitions of a recovery truck.
As above, it does depend on what is being carried, it’s very limited and could serious limit your business to do recovery only.
IMHO the above example of shuffling a veh from storage to repairer would clearly be just moving a vehicle from a to b, and not be exempt.
For the inconvenience involved, having an o licence makes better business sense.
I have a full time job atm so only doing it at the weekend and evenings to see how it goes , im not looking to be transporting cars just roadside recovery for now , if it goes well I will look more into doing it full time
