Do your drivers check their vehicles every day for defects? If they do, how do they report them back to you? If you've answered "Don't know" to either of those questions, then you might have some explaining to do to the Traffic Commissioner if something goes wrong with your truck out on the road.
Help is at hand. Commercial Motor has joined forces with Ward International Consulting to offer CM readers the perfect answer.
Produced after consultation with the Traffic Commissioners and Vehicle Inspectorate, the CM/WIC Drivers' Defect Book covers all major daily vehicle/safety checks for HGVs with separate copies for the driver, workshop and Traffic Office so there's no doubt that the defect has been spotted AND reported.
What's more, the handy pocket book has unique numbering on the pages, allowing operators to ensure that daily checks are made—EVERY DAY.
