DAIRY OPERATION has ad its applications for a fleet crease accepted, despite the affic Commissioner being amed about several convictions r ceived by the group.
North-Eastern TC Tom Macartey said he was satisfied with the a tion taken to put matters right. The TC granted an increase in t c licence held by Medina Dairy ( orth of England) from 25 vehic es and four trailers to 60 vehicles aid four trailers, and an applicat on for a 20-vehicle licence by edina Capital Dairy Co.
Vehicle examiner Keith Craven s id there had been four irnmedia e prohibitions, one of which was ' -marked for a steering defect, aid four delayed prohibitions i sued to the company's vehicles. For the two companies, Patrick Sadd said that the vehicle given the `S'-marked prohibition had been taken off the road and had been used inadvertently. It had since been scrapped. The maintenance contractor and the drivers had been taken to task and the Freight Transport Association was carrying out gate checks to check that drivers had picked up any faults before leaving the depot.
Asked about a conviction for unauthorised use, group transport manager Hayat All Syed said that the north of England company had been operating under an interim licence from Bradford. When the Huddersfield depot was acquired, it applied for a variation, but was told the variation could not be sought until the substantive licence had been granted.
A conviction for using a vehicle
without a test certificate, which was the vehicle given the 'S' marked prohibition, arose due to a breakdown of communication between the Huddersfield and Bradford depots.
A conviction for overloading arose when a driver came in late and put a double load on the vehicle. A second such conviction arose when a night loader put the wrong load on a 3.5-tonne vehicle.
