Scottish waste firm wasn’t scheduling work, covering maintenance costs or paying drivers for vehicles on its licence

The lending of O licences is an issue which traffic commissioners take very seriously.

First off, it’s a matter of trust.

If a licence is being used by someone else, who’s running the vehicles?Which means they’ve not faced the necessary checks to get into the industry.

But it’s also a fair competition issue.

As a compliant operator, you’re meeting all the relevant standards. If someone’s lending a licence, they aren’t working within the same rules. Which means they’ve got an unfair advantage when bidding for work.
