Fleet Desk, for transport compliance
Find new operator licence applications in your area, the week they publish.
A company applying for a standard licence must name a transport manager and show maintenance arrangements the Traffic Commissioner accepts.
A new licence application is public, dated and names the operating centre.
Compliance consultancies usually hear about a new operator once it already needs help. The application was public weeks before, with the operating centre and the vehicles named, in a bulletin few people read.
The Desk gives you new licence applications and rises in authorised vehicles, with the operating centres named, the week the bulletin publishes, so you decide which operators to offer help first.
Which changes matter to you
New licence
A company applying for its first licence names its operating centre and the vehicles it wants authorised, and the Traffic Commissioner decides after the objection window.
Capacity expansion
A higher authorised total brings more vehicles under the operator's licence undertakings at the sites named.
Site expansion
A site this operator has not used before is another place its licence undertakings apply. Verified where the bulletin printed a licence total.
Licence transfer
A Schedule 4 stage changes which licence a site sits under, and so which licence's undertakings apply there.
A real example, read for transport compliance
From Fleet Desk. Real, checked against Companies House, at least seven days old.
What changed. Prestigio Transport Ltd applied for a new standard national goods vehicle licence, OF2093979, for 3 vehicles and 3 trailers at one operating centre. Published 16 September 2026, objections open until 7 October 2026.
Where. Graveley, Hitchin SG4 7LA, East of England
Why it may matter. A site this operator has not used before, or more vehicles at one it already uses, is another place its licence undertakings apply. The evidence here is the site change, published with its authorised figure and date.
Check. Whether Prestigio Transport Ltd already has a transport manager and a maintenance provider you know of, how far Graveley is from your office, and the objection date of 7 October 2026.
Three things to check first
Is it a first licence
A new licence application is printed as that, with its licence number and type.

Common questions
Does it list public inquiries?
No. It lists applications and decisions, with the stage on every line.
Does it name the transport manager?
Never. No person is named in any Harrier briefing. Companies and operating centres only.
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.
