A FIRM THAT faced its first public inquiry in more than 40 years of trading has received a warning for a string of prohibitions and maintenance problems, including an 80% first-time failure rate at annual test.
Clarence and Heather 'yin, trading as Clarence Ivin & Son, of Richmond, North Yorks, had been called before North-Eastern Deputy Traffic Commissioner Elizabeth Perrett at a Leeds disciplinary inquiryThey hold a licence for seven vehicles and seven trailers. Undertakings were given that driver walk-round checks would be audited, driver training would be carried out by an independent body and vehicles would have audit inspections by Scania every three months.
Vehicle examiner Keith Gilligan said that over the past five years there had been four immediate and four delayed prohibitions, two of which were S-marked — the majority imposed in 2006.A further six variation and refusal notices were issued when vehicles were presented for prohibition clearance. Gilligan felt some of the prohibitions were due to weaknesses in the driver defect reporting system .There was an 80% initial failure rate at annual test.
Clarence I vin said he had been in road haulage since 1965 and had obtained his CPC through grandfather rights. Until three months ago the vehicles had been engaged on quarry work. They were now carrying coke from Teesside to Scunthorpe, which was not as heavy on the vehicles.
For the firm, Christabell Hallas said it was its first public inquiry and until last year there had been few problems.
