With so many demands being made on operators, it is possible that sometimes a business can end up inadvertently sailing close to the wind. Often, this can easily be avoided. This week on the podcast, the team discussed:

• Avoiding hefty penalties by correctly incorporating your terms of business and when the CMR actually applies to a load.
• Problems with maintenance and the recent changes to the DVSA’s Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
• How to handle a request from the DVSA for a desk-based assessment.
• Taking on the state – using judicial review to tackle a decision you are unhappy about.
