Hi
recent changes mean that I need an o licence to conect a trailer to my 3.5t van (courier work). I’m clear on the process to apply but have little time and even less money to become qualified as a Transport manager as required by the licence.
Can you hire Transport managers? If so how much would it cost for one Transit and one trailer? Does anybody have contact details of one for near Coventry?
regards Kevin

There is a company Transconsult that provides qualified transport managers. You should expect to pay around £300 per month. You could place an advert for a manager which might cost you less or alternatively you will have to pass the CPC tests. Do not confuse this with driver CPC it is completely different.
Your TM can live anywhere within reason you could contact your nearest office to see if they will let you run for x time until you can find 1 or do the course yourself
Or get a restricted licence then you may not need 1 so dont panic
