Mock DOT Inspection at Soft-Lite Windows

 

On Friday April 24th, Soft-Lite Windows held Mock DOT inspections in our yard for trucks returning. Our Area Maintenance Manager John Dodson and our Area Risk Manager Rich Schwartz were both on hand to conduct the Mock DOT Inspections. In total, we checked 6 trucks that returned. We placed one out of the six out of service. The rest passed.

The drivers were surprised upon returning and being inspected. But, they welcomed the feed back and the satisfaction in knowing that they passed. They also learned of things that are checked to help them better their pre trips to ensure that if they get stopped "for real" they pass with flying colors. Also, while John Dodson was here he did a once over of all the customer provided equipment helping us as a management team find issues with these units that were over looked when they were last in to Penske for there B service.

In closing, the Soft-Lite management staff would like to thank all the drivers for participating and asking questions. Also, special thanks to John and Rich for taking the time to come out and help us as an account learn things we can do to make sure we come away with clean DOT inspections moving forward!
