During the driver selection process a candidate is interviewed by our recruiting officer.
 

	One of our mechanics performs a pre-trip inspection.

The candidate must provide us with a "clean" Statement of Driving Record. Then, the potential driver is submitted to a driving test. If the results of the interview and road test are favourable the candidate is then trained in the handling of dangerous goods, pre-trip inspection and hours of work. A driver's manual is given to all new drivers. This manual deals with all aspects of a driver's job, from starting the truck in the morning to parking it at night.

Equipment Maintenance

Trailers are inspected every 4 months. Tractors are inspected at different intervals depending on their use. A highway unit has a "Type A" inspection performed at 14000km and a "Type B" at 28000km. A city unit has a "Type A" inspection performed at 10000km and a "Type B" at 25000km. These inspections are performed by our licenced mechanics in house. Additionally all trucks and trailers are submitted to a pre-trip inspection performed by a mechanic before every trip. This includes owner-operator equipment.
