Fleet Experts is a UK-based consultancy specialising in the transport and logistics industry. We exist to support new entrants, startups, and small to medium-sized operators who want to build professional, compliant, and sustainable transport businesses.
The OCR score, known as the Operator Compliance Risk Score, is used by the DVSA to measure how well an operator complies with road safety and transport regulations.
The score is generated from roadside inspections, prohibitions, encounters, and historical compliance data.
A poor OCR score increases the likelihood of roadside stops, targeted inspections, DVSA investigations, and Traffic Commissioner action. Many operators are unaware their OCR score is deteriorating until enforcement action has already begun.
Fleet Experts provides structured consultancy based on the DVSA OCR traffic-light system.
For operators in the green category, we focus on compliance protection by reviewing systems, reinforcing driver handbooks, and maintaining strong procedural controls to prevent score deterioration.
For operators in the amber category, we implement targeted corrective actions, strengthen governance, improve maintenance and driver management systems, and address the root causes affecting the score.
For operators in the red category, we provide intensive compliance intervention, including system rebuilds, procedural restructuring, enhanced transport management oversight, complaints handling controls, and preparation for DVSA or Traffic Commissioner engagement to bring the operation back under control.
OCR score consultancy is essential when operators receive increased roadside stops, warnings, prohibitions, or DVSA correspondence. It is also required when operators are aware of declining compliance performance, following rapid business growth, or after incidents that may impact enforcement risk. Proactive OCR consultancy is equally valuable for operators who want to remain in the green category and avoid unnecessary regulatory attention.
Effective OCR score management reduces enforcement targeting and protects the operator licence. Structured consultancy improves compliance performance, strengthens management control, and restores regulatory confidence. By addressing issues early and aligning operational systems with DVSA expectations, operators reduce risk, stabilise operations, and maintain efficient, profitable, and legally compliant transport businesses.
