Course details

Transport businesses are characterised by two important features: heavy legal obligations and high fixed costs. If your company fails to comply with its legal obligations, it risks heavy fines, reduced productivity through having prohibition notices served on vehicles and potential closure of the business owing to the loss of the Operator’s Licence. Another the key characteristic of transport is its dispersed nature and the fact that drivers may be many miles away from any direct management control. Nevertheless, as a manager you are expected to maintain continuous and effective control to ensure that the relevant laws are not being broken. Such management at a distance is especially challenging yet is routinely required from quite junior management levels. The high fixed costs of the business can be reduced by sensible vehicle selection and utilisation. As a fleet manager, you have a very important role than anyone else to determine the success or failure of the business.

Course Objectives

This course provides an outline of the operational practices and procedures that are required by law and fleet management best practice.
