TES 2000 – Defect Reporting
He reworked the drivers’ handbook and instituted an audit trail to ensure it had been read, which the fleet was previously lacking. A driver app called Veho Check allowed easy dissemination of the handbook. The app also facilitates daily vehicle checks, with a specific procedure drivers must follow, and which is completed with an electronic signature and date/time stamp. Defect reports automatically arrive on Mick’s system and are sent straight to the hire companies which provide the vehicles: Rent-a-Merc and Reflex Vehicle Hire. The leasing contract is up for renewal in a couple of months, and Mick has been warned that inflationary effects on maintenance costs and materials will push up rates. However, the drastic reduction in mileage, with its consequent savings in vehicle maintenance and tyres, has offset this substantially, and the rise in vehicle cost will only be £31 a month.
