The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has confirmed a new "Road to DVSA earned recognition programme” trial. The new programme gives HGV and PSV operators the opportunity to build best practice and good compliance into their business, which can ultimately lead to them achieving DVSA earned recognition status.
The recognition scheme launched in 2018 as a way for operators to demonstrate a strong track record for compliance, reducing the number of stops they face at the roadside. The new trial programme is designed to support operators in meeting those standards so a formal application for DVSA earned recognition status can be a smoother process.
Rental and leasing companies may want to consider their role in supporting customers who are working towards earned recognition.
More details about the trial on the gov.uk website.
