It alleges conspiracy to falsify tachograph records Consideration of action against the company's licence for 20 vehicles and 20 trailers has been adjourned until March by NorthWestern TC Beverley Bell.

For Vosa, John Heaton said it was anticipated that proceedings would be launched soon following a joint police and Vosa investigation.
