Cheers Jim, very useful.With respect of hired trailers or those owned by others, what is practical in terms of ensuring 6 weekly checks have been completed? Especially in the scenario of daily swaps?
If i was hiring a trailer, id have it inspected by my maintenance provider idealy on the first day of hire.
If your doing trailer swaps all the time, maybe either assurance from them that trailers are being inspected and maintained, copys of maintenance contracts, inspection sheets etc.
Id also defect every trailer, and give them a copy for there records aswel as you keeping one.
