What does an external Transport Manager actually do? Explore their responsibilities, what’s expected of operators, and how digital records support effective compliance oversight.

What actually counts as a defect on a daily walkaround check? We break down the difference between safety-critical and minor defects, what the DVSA expects operators to record, and how FleetForge helps teams manage checks, evidence and defect reporting in one auditable workflow.

UK operators are losing licences not because their vehicles are unsafe, but because they cannot produce the records that prove safety. This article breaks down the 2026 Traffic Commissioner decisions, the DVSA evidence trail, and what a compliant audit file should contain.

Most operators don't discover a compliance gap until DVSA is already asking questions. By then, the pattern is established and the window to fix it has closed. This guide walks through how to configure FleetForge's automated alerts and self-audit workflows so you can spot trigger point risks early, build a clean evidence trail, and stay ahead of any formal intervention.
