A reputation built on professionalism and integrity,
Results built on industry knowledge, engagement and collaboration.

Freight Train’s mission is to work with hauliers and fleet managers to create effective transport systems and procedures for improved commercial performance. Only a phone call away, the Freight Train team is always happy to help and give hands-on up to date industry relevant advice and support.

Here at Freight Train, we know from first-hand experience that effective and workable procedures along with a professionally trained team and drivers doesn’t just satisfy the requirements of a Company’s operator’s licence, it adds value to a business by improving operations and efficiency, reducing risk and the costs associated with non-compliance and breaches in regulation leading to incidents on the road and fleet downtime.

Traffic Commissioners require operators to evidence ‘continuous effective management’. Freight Train audits and assistance with procedural implementation assists operators in evidencing compliance.

How we can help?

Consultancy that will drive your business forward

We offer a transport consultancy service designed to keep companies compliant with legislation.

An initial operator’s licence compliance audit will assess any areas of weakness. We will work with you to put in place workable systems and procedures to assist teams in working within the remit of the law.

Business Support

Building a business can sometimes be a lonely place, even when working for companies with large management structures or specialized departments. For small family businesses it’s even more difficult. Research proves that businesses/individuals that seek support are more likely to survive and succeed. This is where Freight Train can help.  Freight Train works with business managers to find solutions that suit their business.  This is often far more effective and empowering than being told or advised what to do and has been proven to improve business performance.

Recommendation

  • Lesley has taken away the headache from our Company by coming in and assessing precisely our health and safety industry requirements. On her return visit a couple of weeks later she presented us with every risk assessment and safe working practise we could require – for any event a driver could come up against. This was followed up by training for our drivers on such subjects as safe loading and unloading, manual handling and other basic legislative requirements Our HGV drivers found Freight Train’s Driver CPC courses informative, well delivered and trainers very knowledgeable. They actually enjoyed the benefit of this training and haven’t hesitated in wanting to keep up with this on a yearly basis. Quite often some drivers show resistance to attending training but once they meet Lesley with her infectious training style and industry anecdotes they don’t seem to mind at all. I would not hesitate to recommend Lesley and the team to assist any Company with their training and industry compliance requirements.

  • “Lesley is infectious. Her knowledge of the transport and logistics sector, both nationally and internationally is second to none. She has obviously not gained her experience in the trade from books – she has been at the sharp end! Passionate about her industry and knowledge she delivers her training courses very well and keeps the attention of even the most unwilling of participants. Lesley is a great asset to the RHA Regional Council. She thinks outside the box and keeps herself and others around her motivated. Lesley is a great ambassador for the Road Transport/freight industry. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I often seek and value her opinion.”
