N\ 'OSA IS refusing to comment on a new 0-licence application from Taymix Transport just weeks after a previous licence for the firm was revoked following a damning public inquiry.
At the February hearing, Western Traffic Commissioner Sarah Bell said related hauliers Taymix and Translact, based in Pi m pe rne, Dorset, had demonstrated a "total lack of professional competence" and that their systems for checking drivers' hours had "completely broken down': In 2007. two occupants of a car were killed after a collision with a Translact truck.
The revocation of Translact's 0-licence took effect from 19 April, while Taymix Transport had its licence revoked from 7 June.
Taymix is now looking for authorisation to run 12 vehicles and 20 trailers.
Directors in the new application are listed as Claire Ridout and Christopher David Rory Taylor, with transport managers Amanda Billington and Christopher Browning.
A VOSA spokesman confirms its licensing team has received an application from Taymix but adds that the organisation -cannot disclose any further details of how it is progressingdue to data protection concerns.
