Truck Safety Inspection & 5th Wheel Lubrication

At service intervals of 20 000 to 30 000 kilometres, the truck only needs to be inspected and serviced once every 5/7 months, according to the manufacturer. Do the drivers have the technical knowledge required to maintain road safety and identify any preventable maintenance costs in the interim period?

The 5th Wheel is the only connection between the truck and the trailer and requires monthly inspection and graphite lubrication to avoid unnecessary repair and maintenance costs.
