The Road Haulage Association (RHA) says it will continue to object to a new O-licence application from an operator it believes does "not meet the requirements for good repute".
A public inquiry in Bristol, due to be held on 14 December, was to consider disciplinary action against Nicholas Wheller from Bridgwater, Somerset, as well as the transport manager's repute, as part of a new application for five vehicles and five trailers.
Wheller was boss of Nick Wheller Transport that went into liquidation earlier this year.
However, no one from the new business attended the hearing and the public inquiry was adjourned until 18 January in Bournemouth.
The RHA lodged an objection with the Western TC's office under Section 12.1(a) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act against the application from the new business.
Mike Farmer, RHA regional director for the Western and Midlands area, says: "Based on the information we have received from our members, we felt that it did not meet the requirements for good repute."
Earlier this month, Taymix Transport, based in Pimperne, Dorset, withdrew its application for a new O-licence following an objection from the RHA.
A public inquiry into Taymix, and related company Translact, was held in February. This followed a fatal accident in 2007 when two people in a car were killed in a collision with a Translact vehicle. The inquiry resulted in both hauliers' O-licences being revoked.
