What is an External Transport Manager?
Many small to medium sized businesses do not have sufficient requirements to employ a full-time transport manager. To navigate this issue, they can instead choose to employ an external transport manager instead.
An external transport manager is a competent professional who has been designated to ensure that an operator’s vehicles are roadworthy and that its drivers are complying with all relevant rules and legislation.
If an operator fails to heed their transport manager's advice or comply with their requests, they are duty bound to inform the Traffic Commissioner's Office.
