Fleet Desk, for maintenance and tachograph
Find licence changes within reach of your workshop.
Every authorised vehicle carries an inspection interval and a servicing need, and where the vehicles are based decides where that work happens.
A licence change near your workshop names the site and the figures, on a dated record.
Workshops find out about a growing local fleet when the work has gone to the operator's existing supplier, or when a new depot opens down the road with its arrangements already made.
The Desk gives you the operators that applied to add vehicles or sites within reach of your workshop, so you decide which to approach before the vehicles are on the road.
Which changes matter to you
Capacity expansion
A higher authorised total allows more vehicles to be presented for inspection and servicing at the sites named, which is worth checking against your workshop coverage.
Site expansion
A site this operator has not used before, or more vehicles at an existing one, changes where inspections and servicing are needed, which is worth checking against your coverage. Verified where the bulletin printed a licence total.
Network change
Vehicles moving between sites changes where inspections and servicing are needed.
Licence transfer
A Schedule 4 stage or a repeated publication changes which licence a site sits under, not the vehicles that need servicing there. It is not evidence of a maintenance change.
A real example, read for maintenance and tachograph
From Fleet Desk. Real, checked against Companies House, at least seven days old.
What changed. Altrad Services Limited applied to increase authorised vehicle capacity on licence OB2090086 from 4 to 14 vehicles, a rise of 10. The same application names 3 sites it has not used before, two at Middlesbrough and one at Scunthorpe. Published 2 September 2026, objections open until 23 September 2026.
Where. Middlesbrough, TS6 6LP, North East of England
Why it may matter. A higher authorised total allows more vehicles to be presented for inspection and servicing at the sites named, which is worth checking against your workshop coverage.
Check. Which of the two Middlesbrough sites and the Scunthorpe site sit within your drive time, whether Altrad already uses a workshop you know, and the objection date of 23 September 2026.

Common questions
Does it show who maintains the fleet now?
No. The licence undertakings set inspection intervals, not providers, and none of that is in the bulletin.
Can I limit it to a radius from my workshop?
Yes. The regional plan reads a 30-mile radius around a location you choose, so a workshop postcode sets the area. The national plan reads England and Wales.
What area does it cover?
Goods-vehicle operators in England and Wales, across all seven traffic areas. Choose regional coverage around a location you pick, or the full England and Wales plan.
Can I use this for sales?
Yes. The Desk names companies, never people, and uses depot addresses only. Your own marketing rules still apply, and the Desk is built to make them easy.
What does it cost?
The 14-day trial is free and needs no card. Continuing is monthly by card, cancel any time. Regional coverage is £60 a month plus VAT, £72 in total and national £150 a month plus VAT, £180 in total, an introductory price, held for twelve months.
What happens when the trial ends?
Delivery stops on day fourteen and nothing is taken. Your trial page shows the price and a continue button throughout. If you continue before the end, the free days you have left are kept and the first charge date is shown before you pay.
