Book an inspection before any long-haul run, after a truck has been sitting idle, or ahead of peak season. It’s worth booking one whenever the truck is heading somewhere a breakdown would hurt
PRE-TRIP / SAFETY INSPECTION
A quick safety inspection before a long haul — so problems get caught in the workshop, not on the road.

Fits around your schedule
Catches issues before they escalate
Documented pass/flag results
A deeper dive
A breakdown a thousand kilometres from the nearest workshop costs far more than the check that would have prevented it. Most long-haul failures show warning signs days before they happen.
At Big Wheels, we don’t guess. We inspect alignment, tyres, steering and suspension against spec, flag anything that won’t survive the trip, and hand you the results before you leave.
The result: fewer surprises on the road, less downtime, and a truck you can send out with confidence.
What a pre-trip inspection covers
We check alignment, tyre condition and pressures, steering components, suspension and wheel ends against spec. Anything worn or out of range is flagged before you head off.
