Transport and logistics
Keeping businesses on the move
Transport and Logistics isn't just for businesses directly involved in the transport sector. If you use transport in any part of your business - from providing company cars for employees to moving goods or produce or drawing up workplace travel plans – the Transport and Logistics Theme will point you towards the information you need.
You can access us directly at www.businesslink.gov.uk/transport or find us in 'Your business sector' on www.businesslink.gov.uk.
Transport and logistics has expanded:
The information is divided into five quick and easy-to-access sections, so you can get straight to the information you need from the following:
Transport in your business - here you'll find information on journey planning, company cars, vehicle tax discs, choosing fuel-efficient vehicles and more
Moving goods - lorry and van operators can find out how to book tests for their vehicles, apply for operator licences, transport dangerous goods safely, and make their freight operations more efficient
Passenger transport - a comprehensive resource for bus, coach, taxi and private hire operators, including licensing requirements and security advice
Driving for a living - find out how to qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor, and information on driver licensing and Driver CPC for lorry and van drivers
Business-specific information – for MOT testers, motor traders, highways contractors and others
Online services for vehicles drivers, operators and driving instructors
