At QikTruck, we take vehicle safety and reliability very seriously. That's why we've implemented a rigorous vetting and inspection process to ensure that all vehicles in our fleet meet the highest standards. Our process not only ensures that all of our vehicles are safe and reliable, but it also impacts the level of service we are able to provide and the quality of service that customers can expect when they hire one of our freight carriers.
We understand the importance of thoroughly vetting all of the vehicles and drivers in our fleet before allowing them to transport your goods, and so we adhere to a definite vetting and inspection process for both the vehicles and the drivers. To start, each vehicle must pass a comprehensive background check to ensure it meets all necessary safety regulations and has the required insurance, registration, and permits. The vehicle also needs to undergo a detailed inspection to check for any mechanical issues, as well as to ensure that it is up to date on all required maintenance. We also look for any safety violations that could compromise the safety of the driver, cargo, and other passengers.
Before any vehicle is allowed to join our fleet, we also perform a thorough driver profile evaluation to identify the driver’s track record and any potential issues that could arise during the course of their employment. We also verify their driving license and make sure that their qualifications and certifications are up to date. This is done to ensure that all of our vehicles are operated safely and responsibly.
Once a vehicle is approved to join our fleet, we then proceed to the vehicle inspection process. This process is multi-faceted and involves a comprehensive review of the vehicle’s condition, including its mechanical components, safety features, and any required preventive maintenance. During this process, our team will identify any issues that need to be addressed, such as worn brakes or tires, loose or missing parts, or any visible damage to the body or frame. All of these findings are noted and addressed as necessary.
Once the inspection is complete, the car must undergo a road test, where a certified driver will drive it and evaluate its performance. The driver will note any issues, such as slippage on the clutch, difficulty in stopping, and excessive noise, that may indicate the need for further attention. All of these findings are documented and reviewed to assess both the driver’s and the vehicle’s performance.
Finally, before a vehicle is approved to join our fleet, it must pass a series of safety tests, such as a brake test, tire test, and air bag inspection to ensure they meet the required safety standards. This ensures both the driver and the cargo remain safe and secure during the transportation process.
At QikTruck, we understand the importance of having a safe and reliable fleet of vehicles in order to provide a high level of service and customer satisfaction. By implementing a thorough vetting and inspection process, we are confident that we can guarantee a safe and reliable fleet that our customers can rely on. We also recognize the impact that this process can have on improving the efficiency and cost effectiveness of freight logistics. The high safety requirements that our vehicles must meet help to reduce the number of accidents and delays along the supply chain and ensure timely deliveries. Ultimately, this helps us to provide a higher level of customer service and satisfaction to our customers.
At QikTruck, we take pride in our dedication to safety and reliability, and our comprehensive vetting and inspection process ensures that any vehicle that joins our fleet meets the highest standards of safety and reliability. By hiring QikTruck, you can be sure you’re getting the best of the best.
