Transport Compliance Audit

Find the gaps before DVSA or the Traffic Commissioner does

A practical review of your transport compliance systems, records and evidence, with clear findings and prioritised actions to improve control. RTS can also help gather information and organise evidence where Traffic Commissioner correspondence or regulatory follow-up is required.

Driver hours, infringements, downloads, analysis and follow-up actions.

Operator licence obligations

Undertakings, licence conditions, transport manager responsibilities and management oversight.

Driver management

Licence checks, CPC records, onboarding, debriefs and driver evidence.

Document control

Walkaround checks, MOT, insurance, road tax, evidence storage and record keeping.

Operational risk

Fleet control, utilisation, repeat issues and risk patterns that need management attention.

Clear findings, not vague advice

RTS provides proportionate recommendations with practical actions, ownership and priority. The goal is to help you fix what matters and evidence improvement.
