Onboard a subcontract haulier

Licence, insurance and terms checked before they carry a load.

1. Check their operator licence on the public register
2. Get goods in transit and liability insurance certificates. Most people forget this: Many hauliers carry less goods in transit cover than the load is worth
3. Check company details and VAT number
4. Send the subcontract terms
5. Get the signed terms back
6. Set them up as a supplier with bank details checked by phone. Most people forget this: Bank detail changes by email are a common fraud
7. Approve them for use (Transport manager signs off)
