AWIFEACTING as her husband's transport manager has to wait to see whether or not she has lost her repute because of his falsification of tachograph records.
The TC was considering the repute of Christine Jukes as transport manager of Stoke-on-Trent-based Heath Jukes Transport. The company's director, her husband Heath Jukes, initially faced 59 allegations of falsifying tachograph records. He subsequently pleaded guilty to 20 such offences and is awaiting sentence at Liverpool Crown Court. In February the TC reserved his decision over what action to take over the company's 0-licence and Heath Jukes' HGV driving licence (CM 24February).
For Christine Jukes,Andrew Woolfall said she had done all she could as a competent transport manager.
Christine Jukes said they had worked solely for one company and the work came directly to her husband from them. She collected the charts weekly and checked them with a hand-held analyser. They were also sent for outside analysis. She had checked the charts against fuel receipts and had had no idea they were being falsified.
She was still checking the charts, but much more closely. She also checked her husband's diary and was now more aware of the problems that could arise.
In reply to the TC, Christine Jukes said she had not spotted when a chart had been inserted in the tachograph while the vehicle was in motion. She would speak to her husband when the outside analysis occasionally detected infringements.Reservingdecision, the TC asked to see the contract with the tachograph analysis agency, samples of their reports and one or two journey logs from the company they worked for.
