O Licence - Help on hand

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

Hi Guys, I have recently been going through the process of getting an operators licence. After running 3500kg vans for the last 10 years I recently decided to take the plunge and get myself into a 5500kg van.

 

Easy process and very straight forward.....so I thought! Hmmmmmm

 

This has been the fastest steepest learning curve of my career by 1 million billion miles!!!

 

I came across a fantastic bloke who's company is called 'COMPLY', his name is Rob Wilson & if any of you are going through the same thing at the moment by all means give him a shout, he makes everything so simple and he will talk you through everything making it really easy to understand. He will do as much or as little as you want him to.

 

He does everything from O licences to Tacho rules and regs along with everything else.

 

I really cant praise him enough for the time, effort and help he has given me.

All well and good but if you are run off your feet working 12 hours a day 7 days a week then a helping hand is what you need, well its what I needed as my time was better spent else where.

i take it you got a restricted o liecence chris ??? how far from 'base' can you go then as im still toying with the 6.5t iveco . as from treebase / sunnisde i been as far as berwick , haydon bridge , darlo

 

also you get a 12week inspection due to milage , as was told if your not doing intergalactic miles then it can be less offten.

 

im possibly doing some railway work next year if it comes off and it involves driving along way mon back fri .. however il only bring timber home for my own use ( well , sneak it into the back with permission , there will be much much much more staked up) cheers

Getting a restricted O license is a peice of cake, no need to hire some money making expert at all, the guys at vosa are very helpful...

 

And Chris what are all these vans you speak of, surely you mean trucks? Sorry pet hate, a vans is a van, a trucks a truck
