Before leaving the depot, the driver will carry out routine checks to ensure the tanker is in full working order to make the deliveries. If the driver notices a fault with the vehicle, they will not drive it due to safety regulations. This may result in deliveries being delayed.
Another cause for failure is a tanker breakdown while the driver is out on their scheduled route. This could be a blown tyre or mechanical fault
