A COMPANY escaped with a formal warning after it remedied maintenance problems, including the poor condition of trucks in roadside checks and annual tests.
24-7 HG V Recruitment Services had been called to appear before Roger Seymour. Eastern and West Midlands Deputy Traffic Commissioner, who believed that the business had taken steps to prevent future problems. The firm holds an 0-licence for four vehicles and four trailers based at Sutton Coldfield, and one for four vehicles and four trailers based at Lutterworth.
Vehicle examiner Gary Hickin revealed to a Birmingham public inquiry that he had carried out an unannounced maintenance investigation at Sutton Coldfield following the issue of an marked prohibition. He inspected two vehicles and two trailers and they were free from defects. The inspection records were clean, but the mileage was missing.
The maintenance provider, Terry Cooper, told him defects were recorded using a defect rectification report and that they were repaired as they arose.There was an initial pass rate at annual test of 25%, compared with a national average of 68.19%, with a final pass rate of 37.5% compared with 79.92% nationally.
Both Cooper and director Jasbir Kaur were keen to accept any suggestions and take action.
The firm had maintenance systems in place, but it was obvious from the condition of the vehicles inspected at the roadside and at annual test that these were weak.
Kaur undertook to have random audits of three drivers' walkaround checks each week; roller brake tests every 12 weeks and effective pre-vehicle test preparation.
