THE ISLE OF MAN has launched a consultation to get feedback from operators on its planned introduction of 0-licences.
Transport lawyer Murray Oliver will oversee the formation of the new laws (Isle of Man takes first step towards 0-licensing', CM 9 October).
The ideas do not exactly mirror the 0-licensing system in the UK, and the Isle of Man's Department of Transport (DoT) will run the scheme because Vosa has no jurisdiction there.
The areas under consideration during the consultation include levels of financial standing, how to determine professional competence and repute, how to measure compliance, fees and operating centre regulation.
The rules will cover trucks above 7.5 tonnes, although the DoT will consider expanding the legislation to cover 3.5-tonne trucks at a later date.
Under the proposals, trucks visiting the island will be able to remain for four days, but will need an 0licence to stay longer.
Trailers will be given unique trailer numbers under the system, and fees are likely to be £3,100 for the first vehicle and £1,500 for each subsequent HGV.
• To have your say in the consultation, visit: www.gov. lm/highways/consultation/ THE DRIVER of this Scania apparently walked away unhurt, and Masternaut says its telematics "black box' continued to work, tracking the vehicle to a repair site 100 miles away.
This week, Masternaut Three X, the vehicle and asset tracking company, has launched its Safe Driver Competition, in which professional drivers can win £1,250. Drivers that enter the competition will have their vehicle tracked by Masternaut's GreenerFleet, which measures the number of breaks a driver takes, their speed and their fuel consumption.
Driver data will be extracted from GreenerFleet at the end of each quarter and examined by a panel of industry figures, including the former Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, Keith Hellawell; Simon Reynish, freight ambassador for the NorthWest for the DFT's Freight Best Practice Programme; Keith Robson, group director of transport services at Unipart; Rob Wright. national logistics controller at United Biscuits; and Martin Otter, director of innovation at Masternaut Three X.
