There are many excellent guides that should form part of any TM's toolbox. These guides are readily available to assist in completing
the forms that are available for download within the Forms section of this website and are key to being one step ahead when it comes to

a lawyer who specialises in Transport related Law.

Whether you're a new operator or long time established, this guide (recently revised) is a must have point of
reference for any TM in this industry worth his salt. The guide was a collaboration between the enforcement agencies and the representative
bodies that play a major role within the industry. It is without doubt a great achievement and an indication that the industry can
work together in the best interests of all.

This guide is both useful to Operators and Drivers alike, as it's content emphasis is placed upon both. The guide explains the
requirements of procedures, systems and general principles for those who operate or drive goods vehicles or PSV's. For those who
are experienced operators, this guide offers itself as a benchmark for best practice; for those who are new to the industry, this guide
will undoubtedly offer guidance and advice for putting in place those systems necessary in ensuring your full compliance with the law,
and ultimately a safe and compliant fleet.

This guide is the ultimate 'how-to' package regarding the roadworthiness of vehicles operated, it demonstrates whether or not
the systems in place are robust and fit for purpose. Operators as well as drivers are responsible for the condition of their vehicles and
therefore they need to satisfy themselves that any systems/devices used do not compromise the running of a safe and efficient fleet.

There are many other forms available online of which the above are a selection of the ones that most operators require. To assist in
bringing you as much information as possible, the under mentioned links will enable you to find other forms not available here.
