Quinn Transport Engineering Services (QTES) supplies qualified/experienced temporary maintenance staff for the road haulage industry. Our
HGV maintenance staff cover shortfalls in your work force due to sickness or holidays. QTES staff will work as part of your team to your
instruction at your premises for a set period, providing a cost effective way of keeping your vehicles on the road until staff shortages
have been resolved.
For haulage companies where absence of in house repair staff is critical to smooth running and fulfilling VOSA maintenance criteria, we have the solution to ensure you have no interruption to maintenance scheduling and subsequently no downtime. QTES can also provide on-site roller brake testing for most vehicles to enhance routine safety inspections. We can also operate as your maintenance provider - subject to the suitability of your site to carry out maintenance and repairs - providing safety inspections and MOT preps including RBT tests. Where VOSA have imposed conditions, we can assist customers in achieving better standards and meet VOSA requirements.
