Practical guides for running a controlled transport operation.
Clear explanations for operators, transport managers, planners and drivers—covering evidence, workflows and the decisions that need attention.
A practical digital HGV daily walkaround check
How to turn a pre-use check into a clear, time-stamped record with evidence and escalation.
Observation, minor, major or Not safe: designing a useful defect workflow
A severity label should lead to an operational decision, not hide uncertainty.
Trailer checks and evidence when equipment changes mid-shift
Keep the trailer check connected to the driver, vehicle combination and moment of coupling.
Maintenance planning, safety inspections and VOR control
Build a calendar that links planned inspections, reported defects and return-to-service decisions.
Drivers’ hours, working time and tachograph records: keep the context
Why a shift timer supports operations but does not replace statutory tachograph duties.
What a transport manager compliance dashboard should show
Focus attention on exceptions, ownership and evidence rather than decorative metrics.
Planning collection and delivery jobs without message chasing
A practical job record for addresses, time windows, instructions, assets and live status.
Digital CMR and consignment evidence: a structured approach
Create or capture the consignment record, signatures and reservations against the job.
Digital proof of delivery that the office can actually use
Combine status, time, location, signature, photographs and exceptions into one close-out record.
From weekly timesheets and expenses to payroll or invoice
Build approvals around real timestamps, evidence and the driver’s employment category.
Introducing a driver app without slowing the operation
A staged rollout for accounts, training, offline use and practical feedback.
These guides explain operational workflows and link to official sources where relevant. They are not legal advice and do not replace current GOV.UK, DVSA, Traffic Commissioner or professional guidance.
