An revised document on the licensing process for drivers of goods trucks has been released by the British Traffic Commissioners.
Its purpose is to provide a summary of operator licenses and point users in the direction of resources for additional guidance.
This revised guidance corresponds to current accessibility standards and clarifies existing laws and regulations.
The updated guide can still be printed in its entirety if desired.
It contains information on the requirements for possessing an operator’s license, how to apply for a license, how to manage a license, the function and duties of transport managers, and more.

In Great Britain, the road transportation business is governed by traffic commissioners.
The Secretary of State for Transport appoints them, however they are independent of the executive branch and law enforcement organizations like the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
