How much does an External Transport Manager Charge?
The cost will depend on how many vehicles you have on your operator licence. Prices start at £450.00 for the first vehicle and £100.00 per vehicle after that per month. If you are running fewer vehicles than stated on the margin of your license, then normally the ETM will only charge you per operational vehicle. When you put another vehicle on the road, then it's at that point they will charge the extra amount.
What are the charges for using our External Transport Manager finder service?
We charge the first-months fee from the external transport manager as our finders fee, payable by you (the client). The ETM will start to charge you their fee from the end of the second month onwards. If for any reason you are not happy with your ETM, we will try to find someone else. If in the unlikely event, we are unable to find you an ETM, we will provide you with a full refund.*
Who are your External Transport Managers?
Our ETMs are a team of dedicated like-minded transport managers who value compliance and road safety above all else. They have joined our ever-expanding ETM hub to offer their expertise and consultancy services on a part-time basis. We have many years of experience, but equally, have newly qualified ETMs that are ready and eager to get started. They will have recently qualified by passing their Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for Transport Managers in Road Haulage, so they are fully qualified and up to date on compliance rules and regulations. All our ETMs are vetted prior to placement.
How many hours will the External Transport Manager be expected to work?
That depends on how many vehicles are on your operator licence in the margin allowance. The Traffic Commissioner's Office statutory guidance provides a guideline as to what might be expected in terms of hours worked by a transport manager relative to the maximum number of vehicles authorised for a licence.
