New guy question regarding o licence

Hi

recent changes mean that I need an o licence to conect a trailer to my 3.5t van (courier work). I’m clear on the process to apply but have little time and even less money to become qualified as a Transport manager as required by the licence.

Can you hire Transport managers? If so how much would it cost for one Transit and one trailer? Does anybody have contact details of one for near Coventry?

regards Kevin

You can hire a transport manager but it will probably cost you £300 a month, it seems to be going up by the day.
