     Loading over the Trailer Sheet:




     Remember. If loading on uneven ground or a slope, then be mindful that the in-cab weigher

     may give a slight false reading of weight. Drive forward slightly onto even ground, check the

     weight and then return to your initial loading position.


     Also remember to inform the loader of this process.



     Securing the Trailer:


     Once the trailer has been loaded and it's safe to do so the

     driver must walk around both side of the vehicle to ensure
     there is no debris hanging from the top of the trailer

     edges. Then, ensure the sheet is correctly in position

     before taking the vehicle onto the road. All vehicles must
     be fully sheeted before leaving site.




     When checking the load also check areas that may house                                                                                                                            HSF18
