Transport Operator Readiness Check

Most small transport operators do not go under because of competition. They go under because they priced a load below what it cost to run, or because a vehicle was stopped for paperwork they did not know they needed.

  • What a kilometre really costs

    Fuel is the cost you can see. Tyres, servicing, insurance, licensing, the driver and depreciation happen whether or not you counted them.

  • Whether your permits match the work

    Carrying passengers for a fare is a different legal regime from carrying goods, and driver permits come in categories that are not interchangeable.

  • What could stop a vehicle

    An overloaded or non-roadworthy vehicle can be taken off the road, and an uninsured load can cost more than a year of margin.

It takes about 3 minutes and the score is free, with nothing to pay. We ask for your name and an email or phone number so we can send you the scorecard.

1. What do you mainly carry?

2. If you carry passengers for a fare, do you hold an operating licence?

3. Do your drivers hold the right professional driving permit?

4. Do you know what one kilometre actually costs you to run?

5. Are the goods you carry insured while they are on your vehicle?

6. Do you weigh or calculate loads before dispatch?

7. Are your vehicles roadworthy-current?

8. Do you work off written rates and terms with your customers?
