An ETM is a qualified transport professional provided externally by JS Transport Solutions. While restricted licence holders aren’t required to appoint a transport manager, engaging an ETM demonstrates to the Traffic Commissioner that your business is serious about compliance. They handle compliance oversight, safety, driver management and record‑keeping—without the cost of hiring someone full-time

Here’s a breakdown of our core services : • Compliance Audits & Monitoring: Regular checks on vehicle maintenance, driver licences and working-time records. • Maintenance Oversight: Scheduling, record review and defect management. • Record-Keeping Systems: Set up and ongoing maintenance of documentation for drivers and vehicles. • Driver Management & Training: Inductions, briefings, licence checks, refresher courses. • Regulatory Support: Advice on legislation, DVSA inspections, public inquiries. • Policy & System Development: Tailored compliance policies and procedures. • Proactive Compliance Management: Identifying risks before they escalate and implementing improvements.

Pricing for ETM services varies depending on licence type: • Restricted‑licence operators: From £150/month for phone and email advisory support . • Standard operators (Green/Amber/Red risk categories): Rates start at £450–£650/month for the first vehicle, plus £100 each for additional vehicles (up to five), then £50 per extra vehicle Note: Travel expenses may be added, and pricing is scalable to your fleet size

While it's not a legal requirement, appointing an ETM shows you're serious about compliance. It helps you avoid fines, licence revocation, and reputational damage. Plus, it boosts fleet efficiency and safety, protects your business during DVSA checks or Public Inquiries, and demonstrates your commitment to regulators.

We primarily operate across Worcestershire, the West Midlands, and South West regions, including towns like Birmingham, Worcester, Droitwich, Hereford and Dudley. We also provide remote support wherever suitable.

Your ETM will: • Advise on current regulations and prepare documentation. • Represent or support you during DVSA inspections. • Prepare for and represent you at Public Inquiries if needed.

• Free initial compliance audit to highlight risk areas . • Ongoing updates on legal changes and best practices. • Development of safety and compliance policies tailored to your operation. • Peace of mind so you can prioritise running your business.
