VEHICLE MA INTENANCE and drivers' hours problems have resulted in the authorisation on the licence held by Alfred Jeremy Decble, trading as Dariey Ford Transport, being cut from seven vehicles to six by Western DeputyTraffic Commissioner Lester Maddrell.
Deeble, based in Liskeard. Cornwall, had been called before the Deputy TC at an Exeter public inquiry. Jim Marsh, speaking for Deeble, said Darley was a long-established family business going back to the 1890s, and the first motor vehicles it operated were Model T Fords. He added that Dee ble had "taken his eye off the ball" for the last year or so: however, steps had already been taken to rectify the situation. Seven vehicles, he pointed out,were specified, and any curtailment would affect the business.
Deeble undertook to be solely engaged in the management of the business and would act as a driver only in a genuine emergency; one full-time, qualified mechanic would be engaged exclusively in the maintenance of the vehicles and trailers; all tachograph charts would be sent to an independent firm for analysis and its reports examined and actioned if necessary; and within three months, he and all his drivers would undergo sufficient training to ensure they were fully conversant with the law on drivers' hours and the correct use of tachographs.
