Keeping Transport Businesses Safe, Compliant and Confident: Meet ODSS 

For businesses operating in the HGV, PSV and wider fleet sectors, compliance isn’t simply a box-ticking exercise. It is fundamental to protecting your operator licence, supporting your drivers, managing risk and keeping your business moving. 

That’s where Operator and Driver Support Services Ltd (ODSS) comes in. ODSS provides specialist transport compliance, training, auditing and consultancy support to operators across the transport and fleet sectors. 

Built on real industry experience, ODSS works with transport operators, directors, Transport Managers, supervisors and drivers to help businesses understand their legal responsibilities, strengthen compliance systems and improve road safety standards.

Bridging the gap between compliance and everyday operations 

One of ODSS’s key strengths is its ability to bridge the gap between legal compliance and the practical realities of running a transport operation. 

The team can help operators identify weaknesses, improve systems, manage risk and demonstrate effective control across areas including:

• ⏱️ Drivers’ hours and working time
