Operators license help for 6.5ton daily

[Dr.Green]

The terms of a restricted licence are nothing to do with the size of the company, it the way the vehicles are used. For instance an owner driver engaged in haulage work would need a full o licence, but a large company who only use their trucks to transport their own goods wouldn't.

 

You specify the arrangements for maintenance, then they tell you if your proposal is acceptable or not. You could do the inspections yourself, if you have the relevant qualifications or experience and facilities to do the work.

 

There is a table to help you work out the frequency of inspections, mileage on one side and type of work on the other. Somewhere between 4 and 12 weeks depending on what you decide is appropriate.

 

cool , cheers - this is something for the new year:thumbup:

cant see a reason for a vehicle of that size used for private - unless u like dropping kids off at school in a 7t truck

 

That fact that you ant see the reason means you ought to stop guessing. There are plenty of race bus campers, horse boxes and suchlike out there

[treequip]

anything over 3.5 requires o liecence , unless agri registerd --- but theres 2 types , normal and restricted (ideal for 1 man band)

 

Again thats wrong, if its private you dont need an "O" licence of any kind and the categories are UK restricted, UK national and international

[treequip]

Is this an informed response.... are you a sole trader operating a similar vehicle?

Go down the right route and get regular inspections instead of trying to find a loophole, you have a duty of care to other road users for one, and you will only put off maintainance if it's needed, I see plenty of clapped out horsebox lorrys that shouldn't be on the road, driven by dumb blondes that shouldn't be on the road either

Dean I am surprised at you, that’s a horrible sweeping generalisation

 

They aren’t all blonde

To be fair, you can't always tell wether they are male or female either. (-:

was looking for a 'treework' point of view so overlooked the other users out there. the fact my lass can drive a c reg horse box truck that sits down the stables that looks like a death trap says alot about the rules n regs

[Rich2484]

So far all I've seen and read is a lot of I think this or that.

 

Anyone got links to evidence to back up anything they are saying???
