Hi Guys
I’m wondering if anyone can help,
DO 7’5t Recovery (Recovery Only) need to have an Operating Center. If O licence is not require? 
What’s the regulation nowadays ?! Do anyone operates 7.5t Rec. around Beds,Bucks,Herts ?! How’s business ?!
Thank!
Trucknet UK comes up on Google listing several discussions on here answering your questions so use the Forum search engine. GOV UK site lists O licence criteria and exemptions for recovery operators. The DVSA Moving On blog as well has advice answering questions about what you have to be careful about legally : distance to job, tachograph, digicard, what constitutes haulage, what legally defines a recovery vehicle etc. If you need an O licence then you need an operating centre. What they don’t tell you is that you just might be able to carry a fully loaded 3.5 t van on a Japanese chassis slidebed legally, otherwise the answer will almost certainly be no on a 7.5 tonne vehicle.
Excellent, Comprehensive answe Thanks
Any Recovery Owner Operators around ?
I’ve got one, re registered it from regular Hgv classification, but not a recovery operator, do predominantly transport but it’s useful for some of the stuff I do, bearing in mind the restrictions of use if its not on o licence, which our one isn’t for various reasons
