Tachograph Analysis
OLMC’s new Tachograph Analysis services provide complete analysis of both digital
and analogue tachos. Our service is designed to remove the stress of being
compliant with tachograph law and driver’s hours rules.
It is worth noting that VOSA (Vehicle and Operators Services Agency) is always
striving to increase its enforcement activities and with tachograph and driver’s hours infringements
being one of the most common reasons for a prohibition and fine, it’s easy to see why tacho analysis
and management is now one of the more important factors of running HGVs.
OLMC's Tachograph Analysis and management services are designed around the needs of
you, the customer. We pride ourselves in being as flexible as possible as no two
customers are the same.
Our service also includes a helpline where we can answer any questions you may have

Operators Licence & Operators Licences

We at OLMC can assist and provide you with all the necessary information you require to apply. We can cater to all your needs, from Restricted to PSV and Standard National to International. We look after all the details involved in successfullly applying for an O' Licence so that you do not waste valuable time.
Traffic Commissioners & VOSA
When holding an operators licence it is advantageous to know about the governmental structure that administers and enforces the legislation.Who is VOSA? VOSA are an executive agency of the DfT, VOSA’s function is to administer operator licensing legislation (amongst other functions relating to transport). They work closely with the Traffic Commissioners by providing evidence gathered to support the enforcement and judicial functions of the traffic commissioners. VOSA can also issue graduated fixed penalties at the roadside and direct traffic. Authority to direct traffic and issue penalties is granted to VOSA under the Community Safety Accreditation Scheme and is done so on a regional basis.
Who are the Traffic Commissioners? The Traffic commissioners are industry regulators that have been granted certain judicial functions in regard to operator licensing. The Traffic Commissioners (as part of the Judiciary) are granted independence from executive departments including the DfT and therefore VOSA. The UK is split into traffic areas, each traffic area is regulated by a specific Traffic Commissioner. There is also a Senior Traffic Commissioner who has the additional function of encouraging that licensing decisions be consistent throughout the traffic areas. The Senior Traffic Commissioner also has the ability to issue guidance and direction to the Traffic Commissioners.
