Operators licence

[Johny Walker]

thinking putting the daily up to 5t,is ther a restricted liesence with out all the hang ups if working with in 10m off base,

There is a restricted licence but it’s the load that’s restricted not the operating area

 

The licence you need is UK restricted as opposed to UK national or international. The restriction is that you can only carry your own goods which is fine for tree work. The other licences allow you to carry goods for other people.

Ohh yes…………….

 

The purpose of the licence is to ensure that you are a fit and proper person to operate goods vehicles in a condition that will not needlessly endanger other road users.

 

You will need to demonstrate that you have the funds to maintain the vehicle(s) in a pukka condition and that you are going to operate it/them from suitable premises. (not annoying the neighbours by parking a 44 toner on the drive)

 

Are you planning to uprate or replace?

Re Tacho and Operators license

 

Is there a way round these is you work within a certain distance of base and only do a very low milage

 

ie I mainly work within 5 miles of home and only do about 2500 miles per year.

 

If Woodpicker uprated his Iveco from 3.5 to 5.5 could he get round these issues by working close to home
