How do you make sure your drivers are doing a proper daily walk-round check? Commercial Motor and Tachodisc have got just the thing to help you...
ACCORDING to Vosa: "The driver is an essential element of a comprehensive maintenance system." Indeed, Vosa's position on the role of the driver in keeping your trucks legal is unequivocal. It says: "Drivers need to monitor the condition of their vehicles, conduct daily walk-round checks and report defects. If drivers don't take these measures then we'll consider the maintenance system to have failed:
So are your drivers playing their part? Are they doing a proper daily walk-round check and, above all, providing you with a daily defect report slip, including a 'nil defect' report where appropriate? If they're not, your 0-licence could be at risk. Hastily scribbled notes on a scrap of paper will not do. You need a proper system in place. To make sure your drivers are taking their roadworthiness responsibilities seriously, we're giving away 500 copies of the Tachodisc Daily Vehicle Check and Defect Book, absolutely free.
Each book contains 20 duplicate sheets with sections for the driver's name and vehicle, mileage readings and date plus all the major daily vehicle check points, including controls, brakes, load security, wipers, lights etc provided complete with tick-boxes.
There's also a 'nil defect' box, as well as room to write further details of a particular fault. To get your free copy, just call the CM/ Tachodisc Daily Vehicle Check and Defect Book hotline on 01925 283328, or e-mail sales@tachodisc.co.uk with the words 'CM/ Tachodisc Daily Check and Defect Book offer' in the subject line. •
