A FIRM WITH 14 prohibitions in five years Look urgent steps to save its 11-vehicle licence before appearing at a public inquiry As a result, it escaped with a warning, following a series of undertakings.
Billy and Michael Parker, trading as JP Construction of Normanton, West Yorkshire, had a bad maintenance record, which had gradually become worse in the view of the North-Eastern Traffic Commissioner Tom Macartney.
Vehicle examiner Richard Roberts said he carried out a maintenance investigation after intelligence suggested defective vehicles were being operated and there was a poor annual test history. He examined four vehicles, issuing an S-marked immediate prohibition. The maintenance records were not working documents, in that they were made out some time later.The forward planner had not been updated since September. Some drivers were either not reporting defects or were not carrying out daily walk-round checks. The company's maintenance contractor did not have sheltered accommodation.
Billy Parker said the maintenance contractor had been changed to a local Daf agent.The driver's handbook had been amended, and random audit checks on driver defect-reporting were now in place. The 26tonne vehicles were now inspected every four weeks.
