Heavy goods firm licence revoked and boss disqualified following concerns about road-worthiness of vehicles
A heavy goods firm in Bilston has had its operating licence revoked and a boss disqualified for two years following concerns about the road-worthiness of its vehicles.
The West Midlands Traffic Commissioner has revoked the licence of M J Hire & Sales Ltd based on Purdy Road after the probe by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. It found there were concerns about the road-worthiness of vehicles the company was running, routine safety inspections were not being carried out on time and journeys were not being recorded.
The firm's director and transport manager, Rebecca Large, has now been disqualified for two years.
Nick Jones, the region's Traffic Commissioner, said the decision to revoke the company's licence to run heavy goods vehicles followed a public inquiry in October 2015.
