The latest version of The Transport Manager’s and Operator’s Handbook has been published by Kogan Page.

The book stretches to 750 pages and has become the bible for van fleet operators since its launch 39 years ago.

The 2009 handbook has been updated to include the latest changes to drivers’ hours laws and information of the drivers’ compulsory training directive.

There are also sections on licensing, professional competence, drug testing, speed camera penalties and the London low emission zone.

The book is clearly laid out so readers can find relevant information with the minimum of fuss.

The Transport Manager’s and Operator’s Handbook 2009 costs £52 and is available at bookshops or online at www.koganpage.com
