Haulier recognised by DVSA scheme
Newtownabbey-based Montgomery Transport Group, one of the largest privately-owned transport companies in the UK, has demonstrated its commitment to road and driver safety by becoming the first business of its kind in Northern Ireland to be accredited for the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) Earned Recognition scheme.
The DVSA Earned Recognition scheme is a voluntary scheme for companies with lorries, buses and coaches that requires a strong track record of compliance and adherence to driver and vehicle standards.
Montgomery Transport Group, which is a member of the Palletways pallet network, needed to demonstrate strong transport management systems and processes to be successfully accepted into the scheme.
The DVSA has launched the scheme to ensure that compliant businesses obtain the best business value from the enforcement regime, something that other companies will aspire to gain. It will also enable the DVSA to focus its attention on the seriously and serially non-compliant, where the risks to road safety are highest.
