Fleet Desk, for tyres
Find operators applying to run more vehicles near your depots.
Every authorised vehicle runs on tyres that someone supplies and fits, and where the vehicles are based decides which depot does the work.
A licence change names the site and the number of vehicles, on a dated record.
Tyre accounts move when fleets grow or change depots, and fleets do both in public first. The application names the site and the figure weeks before the vehicles arrive.
The Desk gives you the operators that applied to add vehicles or sites within reach of your depots, ranked by the strength of the evidence, so you decide which accounts to call first.
Which changes matter to you
Capacity expansion
A higher authorised total allows more vehicles at the sites named, which is worth checking against the accounts your depots serve.
Site expansion
A site this operator has not used before, or more vehicles at one it already uses, is a new place for fitting and call-outs. Verified where the bulletin printed a licence total.
Network change
Vehicles moving between sites changes which depot is nearest the work.
Licence transfer
A Schedule 4 stage changes which licence a site sits under, not the vehicles at it. It is not evidence of more tyres.
A real example, read for tyres
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. An application to raise authorised vehicle capacity is the earliest public sign that an operator's authorised capacity is rising. The record gives the authorised figure before and after, the sites named and the date.
Check. Which of the two Middlesbrough sites and the Scunthorpe site sit nearest a depot, whether Altrad already has a tyre account you know of, and the objection date of 23 September 2026.

Common questions
Does it show vehicle types or tyre sizes?
No. The licence record carries numbers and sites, never a specification.
Can I limit it to the area around my depots?
Yes. The regional plan reads a 30-mile radius around a location you choose. 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.
