Sorry - wrong. If you are carrying goods for direct reward eg Cattle or Strawberry's, you need CPC.

So "Own Account" Fleets will fall under what you're saying? Carrying their own produce or goods to their stores to sell hire etc or manufactured and delivering to a customer.

So what does a restricted license cover?

Types of licence
There are 3 different types of operator’s licence for goods vehicles. The licence you need depends on where you transport goods to and from, and who you do it for.
Standard national licence
This licence means you can carry:
  • your own goods in the UK and internationally
  • other people’s goods in the UK
You can also take loaded trailers to or from ports within the UK as part of an international journey, as long as your vehicles do not leave the country.
Standard international licence
This licence means you can carry your own goods, and other people’s goods, both in the UK and on international journeys.
When you get a standard international licence, you can also request the issue of Community Licences. These allow:
  • trips between all EU member countries
  • transit traffic through EU member countries
  • cabotage (journeys entirely within one EU country)
Restricted licence
This licence allows you to carry your own goods, but not other people’s goods.

This is irrelevant to the driver needing a CPC though.
