What Are Spot Checks?
Spot Checks are unannounced inspections carried out by our field managers. These checks are designed to identify and address any potential safety issues before they become problems. Spot Checks include tire, brake, structural, and cargo inspections. By conducting these stops, we ensure that our trucks and equipment are always in top-notch condition, and our drivers are consistently adhering to safety protocols.
BC Regulations and Break Checks
BC regulations highly recommend regular break checks, a practice Sutco diligently follows. Regular break checks are crucial for maintaining the braking system’s efficiency, preventing accidents caused by brake failures. Our drivers are required to follow these checks to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
Potential Tickets and Penalties
In BC, the consequences of not complying with safety regulations can be severe. Potential tickets for overweight loads or improper safety measures can result in hefty fines and penalties.
Ensuring Compliance and Safety
Our Spot Checks play a critical role in preventing potential issues that could lead to tickets or, worse, accidents. By conducting these thorough inspections, we catch problems early, ensuring that our fleet is always road-ready and compliant with all regulations.
