What is an Operator’s Licence for HGV and PSV?
An Operator’s Licence is a legal requirement for commercial use of HGVs or PSVs. Issued by the Traffic Commissioner and regulated by the DVSA, it confirms your drivers, vehicles, and operations meet strict safety, financial, and professional criteria.

Why do you need an Operator’s Licence for your Luton transport business?
Holding this licence assures the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA that:

• Your business is financially sound.

• Your vehicles are properly maintained and roadworthy as per DVSA standards.

• Your drivers are trained, managed, and comply with all relevant regulations.

• Your company operates responsibly and legally.

Failure to obtain or comply can result in prosecution, licence suspension, or loss of operating rights in Luton. We simplify the process to get your HGV or PSV Operator Licence efficiently.
