Licence type, operating centre, fleet, urgency, compliance status and the reason you need a TM.
How TM Match works
A structured matching process for operators and Transport Managers, backed by practical operator-licence knowledge.
For operators
A better first match starts with better information.
Requirement review
We assess what experience, location and practical attendance pattern the operation is likely to require.
Potential match search
Suitable network profiles are considered against capacity, travel area and experience.
Initial discussion
We clarify the role with both sides so important issues are identified before a formal arrangement.
Introduction
Where both sides wish to proceed, contact is introduced and commercial terms can be agreed.
Nomination & onboarding
The operator completes the required licence nomination process. JS can separately assist with onboarding or compliance systems if required.
Matching criteria
What we consider.
Geography
Distance from operating centre and realistic physical attendance.
Statutory capacity
Current external operator and vehicle commitments, plus the practical demands of each role.
Experience
Fleet type, international operations, compliance recovery and specialist sectors.
Timing
Whether the need is planned, urgent, linked to a departing TM or a Period of Grace.
Important
TM Match does not replace the Traffic Commissioner process.
Finding a suitable person is only part of the process. The operator must apply to add the proposed Transport Manager to the operator licence, and the relevant Traffic Commissioner decides whether the nomination is approved.
