In this instance, road testing would surely occur when the skeletal trailer had been built, to ensure there were no road going faults, prior to affixing the specialised body to it?
Incidentally, in my last job (sewage/drains tanker) I was advised I was tacho exempt and didn’t need to keep any records as such. Same applied to most of the fleet there, yet virtually of of their competitors want drivers to have a valid digi card?? Trouble is, you always get two versions of what you should do, depending on who you work for.

Rigids. 17 to 32 tonnes vehicles. No records of drivers hours, no tacho use.
That’s because the whole thing is designated as plant
Are you saying that if he was driving an artic, he wouldn’t be exempt?
If the unit was not an integral part of the plant then that COULD be the case - I suspect it would take a court case to determine that one as it needs the unit to go from drain to drain
