D L Rogers & sons Transport (DLR Transport) is a family business and as such, I have been involved in many aspects of its operation. I began by gaining experience in the maintenance department, achieving a Level 2 HGV mechanical qualification and obtaining my HGV Class 1 licence. My role involved undertaking duties such as routine mechanical maintenance and service, vehicle and trailer MOT Preparation and presentation, carrying out deliveries with a HGV vehicles, and managing maintenance workloads. From the maintenance side I moved into the transport planning department, learning and understanding the daily running plans, and driver hours legislation, aswell as relaying with customers and drivers. My role along with my responsibilities have progressed over years from assistant to Transport Manager, I now have over a decades worth of experience working within the UK haulage sector, gaining crucial insights into the running of DLR Transport as a business, the customer base and its employees. I hold both an International Transport Managers certification and NEBOSH Health and Safety certification. I hope to further progress within the business and the transport industry to develop my skill set and understanding.
