The cost of operating a transport business continues to rise, and there is currently no indication that these pressures will ease in the foreseeable future. Fuel, maintenance, insurance, compliance, and staffing all contribute to significant and ongoing expenditure.
One highly effective way to control operating costs is through the appointment of an External Transport Manager (ETM).
An ETM provides the professional oversight required to maintain full compliance with your Operator’s Licence, without the financial burden associated with employing a full-time, in-house Transport Manager. There are no employment costs, no pension contributions, no holiday pay, and no long-term contractual liabilities — simply professional, compliant support.
At Transport Made Easy, we work in partnership with your business from the initial consultation through to Operator’s Licence application and ongoing compliance management. You will be supported by a fully qualified and experienced Transport Manager who understands the regulatory expectations of the Traffic Commissioner and the DVSA.
Our External Transport Manager service is charged at a flat £25 per day, providing a cost-effective, transparent compliance solution for your business.
