What is an Operator’s Licence for HGV and PSV in Peterborough?
An Operator’s Licence (O-Licence) is legally required for any Peterborough business operating HGVs or PSVs commercially. Issued by the Traffic Commissioner and regulated by the DVSA, it ensures your vehicles, drivers, and transport operations meet strict safety, financial, and professional standards essential for legal operation in Peterborough and beyond.
Why Do You Need an Operator’s Licence for Your Peterborough Transport Business?
Holding an Operator Licence proves to the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA that your Peterborough business:
- Is financially stable with the capacity to support your fleet.
- Operates HGV or PSV vehicles maintained to DVSA roadworthiness standards.
- Employs drivers who are trained, managed, and comply with driver hours and tachograph regulations.
- Is professionally competent to operate legally and safely within Peterborough and across the UK.
Failure to obtain or comply with an Operator Licence can lead to fines, licence suspension, or prohibition from operating your Peterborough HGV or PSV vehicles.
Your Peterborough Operator Licence is attainable—our expert team simplifies and streamlines the process.
