No, Not a VOSA man - worse than that, I am a Transport Manager :smiley:

Things have tightened up so much in the last few years, that I have to really keep on top of legislation changes so got that one from VOSA via the FTA

Looks like i,ve had a SIFT done then?? Quite a few trucks got pulled on Monday mainly 8 Legger tippers which are running from Leapers Wood to a wind farm job near Blackburn with stone 1000t a day but good old Tossmac have flooded the job with trucks :astonished:

Can I add a note, the company I work for had a OCRS score of RED 08 when I joined them, and the trucks were pulled by VOSA on a very regular basis (about 1 a week) for a fleet of 12 trucks, I stopped a lot of the practices that where going on and they were still getting pulled but now were getting all clears (these are really important if you want to improve the score along with ist time pass MOT’s) - then we started to get pulls that were all clear but nothing given to the driver. These were not recorded at all on the OCRS system.

I enquired about this to VOSA and got was told the inspector must not have had a laptop but it should have been entered into the OCRS system later but they were not :imp: . I they asked my guys to make sure if they got pulled and checked to ask for a P35EC (or pink slip for us oldies)- low and behold, the pulls reduced and our score reduced to AMBER 05.

After 2 years it now stands at GREEN 00 and other than a SIFT 3 months ago, we have not had a pull or a visit in 12 months.

What am trying to say is if you get a pull and have to do anything as I stated before, make sure you get some paperwork as every clear pull goes towards reducing the score and lowers the chances of being pulled again.
