What is an Operator’s Licence for HGV and PSV?
An Operator’s Licence (O-Licence) is legally required for any business using HGVs or PSVs commercially. Issued by the Traffic Commissioner and regulated by the DVSA, it ensures your vehicles, drivers, and operations meet strict safety, financial, and professional standards.
Why do you need an Operator’s Licence for your Coventry Transport Business?
Holding an Operator Licence proves to the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA that:
- Your business is financially stable.
- HGV or PSV vehicles are roadworthy and maintained to DVSA standards.
- Drivers are trained, managed, and comply with DVSA regulations.
- Your business is professionally competent and legally compliant.
Failure to obtain or comply can lead to fines, loss of licence, or prohibition from operating HGVs or PSVs.
Your HGV or PSV Operator Licence is within reach — we make the process simple

Protecting Your Operator Licence in Coventry
Your Operator Licence is the foundation of your Coventry HGV, PSV, coach, truck, minibus, or limousine business. Losing it could mean losing your entire operation. Protecting your licence through regular compliance audits, expert transport management, and DVSA-aligned systems is essential.
Common risks to your licence include:
- Poor vehicle maintenance or failure to follow the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
- Breaches of drivers’ hours or tachograph rules.
- Weak record-keeping or non-compliance with audits.
- Lack of effective control through a qualified Transport Manager.
Even minor compliance issues can lead to warnings, fines, or revocation of your Operator Licence. Stay fully compliant with all DVSA requirements to avoid Desk-Based Assessments and protect your business and reputation.
Catch compliance issues early — schedule your audit now to protect your licence, business, and reputation.
