15 minute checks

A check takes as long as it takes, 5 mins, 10 mins or 3 mins. If you record 15 mins each day for checks, then to me and probably vosa, it looks obvious that your not actually doing the checks at all but merely recording 15 mins and waiting to set off. Most trucks nowadays have a light check facility by pressing a button on your key fob, so the checks are quicker anyway nowadays. I don’t kick tires either, as my foot is not a pressure gauge, a quick look is all that is required for splits or looking flat. These checks are all about passing blame, and not actually checking for defects.
