Q. What are my responsibilities when it comes to defect checking.

A. It is the driver’s responsibility to carry out a thorough defect check of both the truck and the trailer before they begin their journey. This typically happens at the start of the driver’s shift, but a defect check should also be carried out when a driver changes vehicles. A driver should have a fully completed defect check for any vehicles they have driven; relying on a defect check carried out by a different driver earlier that day is not sufficient!
