may sound stupid but what is International CPC

That's the worst job application I've ever seen

I think the O license is for running a truck if so its a certificate of pro competence.

Yes you are correct. It is a Certificate of Professional Competence, which we require in order to obtain an operators licence for our new boat transport lorry.

Hi Michael
Give Bob (Randski) a call, does a lot of HGV training and if he can't help probably knows someone who can. He bought a trailer off you about 18 months ago for his hardboat. I'll pm you his no.
Regards
Jeff

It's not just knowing someone with a CPC to get an 'O' Licence. The named person will be responsible for all legal compliance for the vehicle(s), maintenance, tachograph driver training & records etc...it cxanot be a "figurehead" job.

BTW vfrom Sept 2009 anyone operating LGVs will need to show their drivers are receiving at leat 5hrs recorded trainig a year, as in 2014 without that record the driver will not be able gain a Driver CPC without which they will not be permitted to work!

It would take a very trusting Int. CPC holder to allow you to operate vehicles for which he would be responsible. It does happen nationally, but the haulier and the CPC holder tend to know each other and trust each others working practises. Even then, considerable financial renumeration is required.

Can you not operate on a restricted license?

lakelandterrier · 13 February 2009, 10:07

Why do you need an operator's licence - what size vehicle(s) do you need to run?

Do you actually need a full O licence ? if you are using the truck for non commercial purposes,and just for movement of your own goods/RIBS ie not for hire or reward you used to be able to get a restricted O licence, for which you did not need a CPC, I think if i remember rightly,you used to have to get the truck inspected every 3 months by a recognised commercial garage, might be worth looking into. (it was a few years ago when we used this so maybe it isn't still available) GOOD LUCK

i dont think its that hard to get one as at the last firm that i drove for [ but i am going back 5 years ago ]the transport manager got made redundent and a young femail secetery from a diferent department went on a short course and got one for running 22 trucks both domestic and international ,regards operators licence theres 2 types ,orange for movement of own goods only ie plant equipment and the blue colour for movement of goods for hire or reward ie general haulage/ container / parcel distribution , a lot of firms now use a local truck dealer garage, as part of any licencing you need to prove to the authority that the truck gets serviced on a regular basis and that the taco drivers hours are inspected every few weeks and that the truck is kept off the road when not in use ,
