We can train your staff to conduct gate checks as a Train the Trainer course. Comprehensive gate checks on your drivers ensure compliance and reduce risk to your operation and other road users.
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.
‘Gate Checks’ will aid you in identifying any potential issues regarding your drivers walk around checks.
85% of roadside fines for infringements could be avoided if the driver had conducted a thorough walk around check before beginning a journey.
