Transport Management & Consultancy

External Transport Manager Services

Transport operators that operate vehicles which exceed 3.5 tonnes must hold a Standard International, Standard National, or Restricted Operator Licence.

To apply for and hold a Standard National or International HGV Operator Licence, you are obliged to employ an internal or external CPC-qualified Transport Manager who oversees your transport operations.

An ‘external’ Transport Manager (ETM) is not an employee of the business but a contracted freelancer who provides sufficient expertise to deliver transport management services to the Transport Operator. They are a competent professional designated to ensure that vehicles are roadworthy and drivers comply with all relevant rules and legislation. Contracting an external Transport Manager is cost-efficient and offers flexibility to the Operator.

We offer external Transport Manager services for all types of licence holders, including Standard National, Standard International, and Restricted Licence holders.
