We can offer comprehensive gate checks on your drivers to ensure compliance and reduce risk to your operation and other road users.
We can also train your staff to conduct gate checks as a Train the Trainer course.
One of our most common enquiries includes the word 'HELP!' This usually follows a roadside stop that has resulted in a prohibition. These are very often avoidable if the driver had checked the vehicle correctly before use.
Drivers must conduct a daily walk around check of their vehicles in accordance with the DVSA’s Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness to ensure compliance and operators are required to continually review the performance of driver walk around checks.
