What is an Operator Licence for HGV and PSV in Newport?
An Operator Licence (O-Licence) is a legal requirement for any Newport business operating HGVs or PSVs commercially. Issued by the Traffic Commissioner and regulated by the DVSA, this licence ensures your vehicles, drivers, and transport operations meet the strict safety, financial, and professional standards necessary for legal operation in Newport and across the UK.
Why Do You Need an Operator Licence for Your Newport Transport Business?
Holding an Operator Licence demonstrates to the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA that your Newport business:
- Is financially stable and capable of supporting your fleet.
- Operates HGV or PSV vehicles maintained according to DVSA roadworthiness standards.
- Employs drivers who are trained, managed, and fully compliant with driver hours and tachograph regulations.
- Is professionally competent to operate legally and safely in Newport and beyond.
Failure to hold a valid Operator Licence risks fines, licence suspension, or prohibition from operating HGV or PSV vehicles.
Our expert team helps make your Newport Operator Licence application smooth and stress-free.
