ASC Haulage gains three more vehicles – is recruiting

ASC Haulage, based in Slough, was granted an O-licence for three vehicles plus two trailers when their hearing reconvened after gathering more information about the company and its transport manager.

Initially, ASC Haulage had applied for a national licence for four vehicles and two trailers.

Tom Macartney, Western Deputy Traffic Commissioner, had wanted time to consider the repute of the proposed transport manager, Jaspreeta Grewal, previously a director and shareholder of Rex Haulage.  Their application was adjourned when the company was given interim authority to operate an artic by the DTC.

Upon resuming the hearing, Jaspal Singh said that he already held a two-vehicle license in his own name, trading under the name of JS Haulage in West Drayton and wanted a license as a limited company after one customer had said they would prefer to deal with a company and not a sole trader.

The two businesses were therefore effectively just the one business, but Mr Singh wanted to keep them separate for now, to see how things progressed.  If the licence was granted, Mr Singh said he intended to move his two HGV’s to Slough from West Drayton.

The DTC was provided with a video presentation of the procedures and systems that the company intends to adopt.

Mr Singh stated: ‘What we need now is drivers, we have our licence and our new vehicles but we can’t fine decent, qualified HGV / LGV drivers in our area. We can even help with their HGV training!’
