Driver Pre Use “Gate Checks”

Lloyd Morgan Group are a leading provider of Driver Pre Use “Gate Checks” to the road transport (HGV) and passenger transport (PSV) industries. Drivers must conduct a daily walk around check of their vehicles in accordance with the DVSA’s Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness to ensure compliance and operators are required to continually review the performance of these driver walk around checks. These ‘Gate Checks’ will aid you in identifying any potential issues regarding your drivers walk around checks.
