Fleet Transport Consultants helps operators stay compliant, efficient and confident against DVSA standards — with audits, Public Inquiry representation, inspection support, External Transport Managers and Operator Licence assistance, UK-wide from our Leeds and Luton offices.
Fleet Transport Consultants (FTC) helps HGV and PSV operators stay compliant, efficient and confident against DVSA standards. With offices in Leeds and Luton, we support clients UK-wide — from Scotland to London — and bring real-world systems that work, not theory.
Independent, DVSA-style audits benchmark your systems, identify risks, and prepare your operation for inspection. We use proven HGV and PSV audit frameworks, deliver actionable and prioritised recommendations, and run pre-inspection readiness checks so there are no surprises when DVSA arrives.
Facing the Traffic Commissioner can be daunting. We provide professional preparation and representation at Public Inquiries — building the written case, evidencing corrective action already taken, and either representing you directly at the hearing or preparing you thoroughly to represent yourself, depending on what the Commissioner allows. Where we have represented clients at PI, operators have retained their licence and repute. Early, expert preparation is the single biggest factor in a positive outcome; see our dedicated Public Inquiry support page for the full process and pricing.
Every engagement starts the same way — a free, no-obligation call to understand your fleet, your current compliance position and what's prompting you to look for support, whether that's a looming DVSA visit, a gap left by a departing Transport Manager, or simply wanting a second pair of expert eyes on the operation.
There's no fixed package you're forced into — some operators need a single piece of work done properly, others want an ongoing outsourced compliance function they can call on whenever something comes up. Both are covered under the same consultancy service.
Our clients range from sole operators running one or two vehicles to multi-depot fleets, across both HGV (own-account and hire & reward) and PSV (coach, bus and minibus) operations. Many come to us after a difficult DVSA encounter and stay on for ongoing oversight; others engage us proactively, before problems arise, precisely to avoid one. Whichever camp you're in, the standard of work is the same.
We provide complete pre- and post-visit support to turn around negative MIVR, TEVR and Desk-Based Assessment outcomes — and prevent recurrence.
