Van/vehicle checks

[rambo1]

I totally agree with you. If you do a van check correctly as per instruction it would take you approximately 15-20 mins? , even longer on a Tuesday with the bonnet open.
I am amazed how few people do them properly , or even at all. Trust me if there is an issue or an accident and you have signed the van checks as completed then you will be disciplined.
Your manager does not care about you, does not care if the checks are done , he/she is only interested in the fact that the system shows that the van checks have been done
It makes my blood boil to see people cutting corners , coming in early , not doing the van checks, not taking breaks just to finish early and/or do ghost overtime. Its because of these people (you all know them, they are in every office) that duties have been ruined in terms of time span to complete them. Its because of these people that extra work has been added to your fitting, or your absorption is so big.

Exactly this.

How many tyre pressure pumps do other offices have? We only have the 1, so no idea how everyone is realistically mean't to check all 4 tyres in the morning without a big queue forming. I wonder why we don't have more.

We have 1 which most of the time we can’t even get to (the few of us who actually check tyre pressures) because they park spare vans in that area and it won’t reach.

I don't actually check the exact pressure. You can tell by eye if a tyre has 35psi or 25psi can't you.

Dunno mate. Not a Kwik Fit Fitter. That's why I use a pressure gauge

Don't worry, a quick fit fitter would need one too in my experience

just in case it's not sarcasm, if you can visibly see deflation on a tyre, it is WELL below pressure, I believe by as much as a third.

Takes me 4 minutes just to check it has 4 wheels

Please bear with him, he's still doing it

17 minutes for my COM to do my van check.

That's without filling out the PMT1 needed for everything wrong with it

This was the DAILY van check

[Numberone63]

Hahahaha. Fantastic. Thanks

Hahahaha. Fantastic. Thanks

Ace, bet it was hilarious watching the twat struggling to find the under bonnet release lever

It would be even better with an electric van watching him looking for the exhaust that the app on the PDA says must be checked.

Well done Hansey , good result!

[POSTMAN]

Can people give me a rough idea of how long it takes them to do a correct daily van check please?

My COM claims he can do a van check in 4 minutes (so he's going to show me on Tuesday)

I've told him he won't even get the first "wipe everything down" section done in that time.
