Our trucks have all been fitted with safetytrims on the wheels. These nifty trims indicate and lock a loose wheel nut. When I do my walk-round the only thing I have to look out for is whether or not a yellow indicator tab has appeared in the window on the trim. The good thing is that if a wheel nut works its way loose during driving, the Safetytrims will catch it, indicate and lock it in place so it cannot back off completely. They work really well…
Apparently the company that supply them have now decided to buy all the yellow Checkpoint indicators from operators that want to change to their Safetytrims.

they are actually for spotting if your nuts are coming loose. Note that two each point to each other, if the points don’t line up, you’ve got a loosened nut.

I wonder if they’ll make truckers underwear with them fitted?
Then I’ll be able to tell if my nuts have come loose or fallen off …

Coat, hat, taxi …
