What is an Operator Licence for HGV and PSV in Rugby?
An Operator Licence (O-Licence) is a legal requirement for any Rugby 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 comply with strict safety, financial, and professional standards required for legal operation, both locally in Rugby and across the UK.
Why Do You Need an Operator Licence for Your Rugby Transport Business?
Holding an Operator Licence demonstrates to the Traffic Commissioner and DVSA that your Rugby business:
- Is financially stable and capable of supporting your fleet.
- Operates HGV or PSV vehicles maintained in line with DVSA roadworthiness standards.
- Employs drivers trained, managed, and compliant with driver hours and tachograph rules.
- Is professionally competent to operate legally and safely in Rugby and beyond.
Without a valid Operator Licence, your Rugby operations risk fines, licence suspension, or prohibition from running HGV or PSV vehicles. Your Rugby Operator Licence is within reach—our expert team makes the application smooth and manageable.
