Room to growAdd vehicles, contracts or depots without losing control.

Services

Choose a single project or ongoing support. Every service is scoped around your business and quoted case by case.

Compliance audits

A full review of your systems against DVSA expectations: maintenance, walkround checks, driver records and documentation, with a clear action list.

Operator licence support

New applications, variations and undertakings. Help preparing for public inquiry or Traffic Commissioner correspondence.

Interim and external transport manager

Cover for absence, a vacancy or a growing fleet, so your licence and your operation stay protected.

Fleet and route efficiency

Data-led planning to improve vehicle utilisation, cut empty running and reduce cost per mile.

Driver hours and tachograph

Process design, analysis and manager training to keep infringements down and drivers legal.

Training and team coaching

Practical sessions for transport teams, supervisors and drivers on compliance, safety and best practice.

FORS accreditation support

Many contracts now ask for FORS. I write the policies and procedures your audit expects, built around the current FORS Standard, so you go into the audit prepared.

FORS Bronze

The entry level of the FORS Standard, and the starting point for every operator.

  • Gap review against the Bronze requirements
  • Policies and procedures written for your fleet
  • Audit evidence file and preparation

FORS Silver

The next step after Bronze, often asked for on construction and public-sector work.

  • Upgrade plan from Bronze to Silver
  • Additional Silver policies and procedures
  • Audit evidence file and preparation

Bronze must be achieved before Silver. FORS accreditation is awarded after an audit, and FORS fees are paid separately. AR Transport is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with FORS.

Driver training and compliance assurance

Practical checks and training that keep your drivers, vehicles and records in order between audits.

Driver administration

Checking that every driver holds the right licence for the vehicle they are driving.

Driver management

Enforcing driving hours rules and keeping the records that prove you comply.

Driver operations

Supervising the return of defect reports, adequate breaks, planned maintenance, payload notifications and certificates of indemnity.

Vehicle management

Auditing roadworthiness, servicing and licensing so every vehicle is fit and legal on the road.

What clients say

“What Randeep doesn’t know about transport isn’t worth knowing.”

“Health and safety is at the forefront of our business, so I always look for supply partners who share those values. Randeep Virdi of AR Transport does, which is why AR Transport are my first choice for our transport needs.

He quickly produced a comprehensive driver manual and training documents, advised on fleet upgrades and carried out structured transport audits. AR Transport have also been involved in every new vehicle purchase, saving the business money time and time again.

I wholeheartedly thank Randeep for his commitment to completing each task professionally, always with the business and its employees’ best interests at heart.”

18 years in transport and logistics, now working for you

I’m Randeep Virdi. I have held a Transport Manager CPC for 18 years, and I used that experience in the transport and logistics sector to build AR Transport, a business offering bespoke consultancy and adjacent support to clients in retail, FMCG, food and drink, and construction.

Day to day I direct operations and projects while making sure they meet the regulatory requirements, and I make sure accreditations such as FORS are achieved and kept up to date.

Talk to Randeep

Who I help

Businesses in retail, FMCG, food and drink, and construction that run their own fleet or rely on one.

How I’m different

Plain English, quick responses and recommendations that fit the size and budget of your business.

Common questions

Can you guarantee FORS accreditation?

No one can. FORS is awarded after an independent audit. My job is to give you the right policies, procedures and evidence so you are well prepared.

Do you work with small fleets?

Yes. Support is sized to the fleet and the needs of your business.

Can you work remotely?

Most reviews and ongoing support can be done remotely. On-site visits are available where they add value.

How much does it cost?

Every quote is tailored to your business and given case by case after our first call. There’s no obligation.

How quickly can you start?

Urgent cover and audit preparation can often begin within days. Get in touch to check availability.
