ny operator running 24-7 needs to keep a close eye on drivers’ hours, but Milton Keynes \u2014 based Cawleys goes that extra mile to prevent slip-ups. Tachographs are analysed on the spot so traffic controllers have all the necessary information to debrief each driver.<\/p>\n

The time lapse between starting the shift and driving off is also scrutinised to see if drivers had sufficient time to complete their daily walk around vehicle check.<\/p>\n\n

Complete compliance<\/h4>\n

Transport manager Sara Buckingham<\/a>\u00a0says: “We feel it’s a very important part of the day to know exactly what the driver has been doing and has complied with everything we do.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cawleys’ fleet ranges from 7.5-tonners for collecting office waste through to liquid tankers that deal with chemical and toxic waste. It operates throughout London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire.<\/p>\n

Ensure systems and procedures are realistic and workable and review them frequently.<\/p><\/div>\n

Cawleys has no formal incentive scheme to raise driver productivity for fear of compromising its stance on compliance.<\/p>\n

Buckingham says that with skip lorries in particular, some drivers are invariably quicker at completing jobs than others. As a result, they end up doing more work.<\/p>\n

I<\/span>nstead, depot managers reward drivers on an ad hoc basis. Drivers are aware of it, but they’re not chasing it.<\/p>\n

Cawleys<\/strong> has no formal incentive scheme to raise driver productivity for fear of compromising its stance on compliance.<\/p>\n

Ensure systems<\/a> and procedures are realistic and workable and review them frequently. Keep records up-to-date and publicise ones such as accident rates to help to raise awareness.<\/p>\n

Persevere with any changes because the benefits will not always be realised without any hesitation.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t

New legislation is also covered during toolbox talks delivered by the company’s in-house driver trainer Rob Jones. Buckingham describes him as an important contact point for drivers who feel uncertain about any point of law.<\/p>\n
