What is an Operator Licence for HGV and PSV?
In Milton Keynes, an Operator Licence (O-Licence) is legally required for any commercial business operating HGVs or PSVs. Issued by the Traffic Commissioner and regulated by the DVSA, it certifies your vehicles, drivers, and operations meet strict safety, financial, and professional standards—including vehicle maintenance, driver hours compliance, and tachograph rules.
Why Do You Need an Operator Licence?
Holding an Operator Licence proves to the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA that:
- Your Milton Keynes transport business is financially stable enough to maintain a compliant, safe fleet.
- Your fleet is maintained according to the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
- Drivers observe required drivers’ hours and keep accurate tachograph records.
- Your operation is professionally competent and fully compliant with legal standards.
Failure to obtain or adhere to the licence conditions risks fines, revocation, and prohibition from operating.
