FORMER DIRECTORS of a failed company may not be granted a new international licence following a dispute over wrongly taxed trucks. The dispute includes claim and counter claim over who had been operating two vehicles since liquidation.
David and Clarice Jewkes, directors of DudleybasedTrinity North UK, are former owners of Jewkes Transport, liquidated earlier this year. They have applied for a three-vehicle licence. West Midland Deputy Traffic CommissionerAlan Bourlet is considering action against them and their associates David Edmunds of Brierley Hill and Kidderminster-based Michael and Josephine Buckley, trading as Buckley Transport.
Owner-driver David Edmunds was stopped in January driving a truck taxed at the private HGV rate. Edmunds said he was employed by Jewkes Transport. A former Jewkes truck stopped in April had no 0-licence disc, was taxed at the private rate and its trailer was prohibited. Trinity North's transport manager, Shane Jewkes, admitted employing the driver but said this truck was covered by a licence owned by Michael Buckley, a part-time employee at Trinity North.
Buckley admitted working for Trinity North but said he refused Trinity's request to put its vehicles on his licence. He had sold the Jewkes a truck and given them its work. David Jewkes admitted mistakenly taxing three vehicles at the private HGV rate, in one case blaming his shortsightedness. David Edmunds said he bought his former Jewkes truck on the understanding that the 0-licence disc came with it. He now accepts that is not possible.The DTC will announce his decision in due course.
