Lorry Permit, Fitness and Insurance Dates

Each lorry carries its own list of paper dates, with a scanned copy of every document. The office sees what falls due next without opening a single file.

Papers held for a lorry

Registration

The registration copy and the particulars on it, kept so a driver stopped on the road can be sent the page he needs.

Permit

The permit your lorry runs under, the states or routes it covers and the date it runs to.

Fitness

The fitness certificate date, with the copy attached and the garage work that was done before it was taken.

Insurance

Policy number, insurer, cover dates and the premium paid, with the policy copy and any claim noted against it.

Pollution and tax

Pollution certificate and road tax dates, each with its own receipt or copy on the record.

How the office is warned

A lorry with a date coming up appears on a list the office opens every morning, as many days ahead as you ask for. The owner can see the same list on a phone. A message can go to the person who handles renewals. Nothing is left to the day the driver calls from a check post.

Who reads these records

Office staff

Work through the renewal list, book the appointment and enter the new date and copy once the paper is in hand.

Dispatch staff

See whether a lorry’s permit covers the state a load is going to, before the vehicle is allotted to that consignment.

Drivers

Ask for a copy from the road and receive it on the phone, without anyone going to the cupboard.

What you set up

  • Which papers each body type and route needs on file
  • How many days ahead the warning starts
  • Who is responsible for renewals and who is told
  • Whether attached lorries are checked the same way

What this does not do

Nothing is renewed for you. Visits, fees and forms stay with your office, and what the authority asks for is between you and that authority. The dates shown are the dates your staff entered, so a copy keyed in wrongly will warn at the wrong time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a copy be sent to a driver on the road?

Yes. The attached page goes to his phone by WhatsApp or mail from the lorry record.

How far ahead does the warning come?

As far ahead as you choose, and it can differ by document. Many transporters want insurance earlier than pollution.

Are attached lorry papers held too?

Yes, where you want them on file. A vehicle owner who gives you lorries often can have his papers kept and checked.

Does it track a financier instalment date?

Yes. The instalment date sits on the lorry record beside the paper dates, and it appears on the same morning list.
