3 Jul 2026 TMA Haulage LtdTMA Haulage: operator licence curtailed from five to four vehicles, revocation from 6 October 2026 United KingdomWorking time Other

Following an investigation by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the Traffic Commissioner (regulator of commercial vehicle operators) found that the sole director of TMA Haulage Ltd had driven using the driver card of a former employee, thereby falsifying the records, three times in June and July 2025 and – after being interviewed by the DVSA – twice in April 2026; on one of those days he continued driving in this way without taking the break that was due. The operator's licence was curtailed immediately from five to four vehicles and revoked with effect from 6 October 2026. Measures against individuals are not set out here.

What organisations can take from it

Driver cards are strictly personal – regularly comparing vehicle unit data with the cards of the drivers deployed uncovers misuse before the authority does.
