As a result, these vehicles require close attention in the inspections that are carried out on them.<\/p>\n<p>If these inspections are not carried out on a regular basis, the vehicle can present numerous long-term problems, such as delays in the delivery of goods or the inability to undertake new journeys if the truck is not in a serviceable condition.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we tell you what to pay particular attention to and give you some tips on how to keep your vehicle in top condition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the condition of the engine: Trucks travel many hours and kilometres, so checking the condition of the engine is essential to prevent costly breakdowns. Check fluid levels, including coolant and oil, as well as wires and connectors.<\/li>\n<li>Keep brakes in good condition: As with any vehicle, truck brakes wear out frequently, and failure to detect them in time can have serious consequences. It is important to check for signs of deterioration, corrosion or damage.<\/li>\n<li>Change parts when necessary: At each periodic service, it is advisable to change the filters. Filter clogging due to sediment build-up is one of the most common breakdowns in large trucks. It is also important to be aware of the right time to change the oil and to visit the workshop before the end of the cycle. It is also advisable to change bearings and brakes after 30,000 kilometres.<\/li>\n<li>Check that the lights are working properly: Before embarking on any long journey, it is vital to make sure that all lights are working properly. If any are found to be out, replace them immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Check tyre condition: Pay attention to tyre pressure before and after each trip. Also, change the valves when changing tyres, as they tend to deteriorate easily as they are made of plastic. Tyre cleaning is important to prolong tyre life. Use warm water and soap, avoiding the use of chemicals that can damage the quality of the rubber. It is also advisable to check the condition of the tyres and make sure there are no stones or nails embedded in them.<\/li>\n<li>Balance the tyres: Whenever you change or remove tyres, it is necessary to balance them properly. This will help to avoid unexpected vibrations, excessive wear and possible suspension, steering and transmission problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the checks mentioned above, there are some practical tips that can help us save on future repairs to our truck, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, it is advisable to always keep the fuel level above a quarter of the tank. Avoid putting the truck in reserve and, preferably, refuel before the gauge reaches the \u00bc mark.<\/li>\n<li>Another useful tip to prolong the long-term life of the engine is to let the truck idle for half a minute when you start it for the first time of the day, and do the same before switching it off. During the summer or winter seasons, you can use this time to turn on the air conditioning or heating and allow the cabin to acclimatise before you start driving.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, driving skill also plays a key role, especially in relation to tyre condition. If you drive responsibly, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, as well as abrupt changes of direction, and regularly check the pressure of your truck&#8217;s tyres, you will notice a marked improvement in the service life of your tyres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about dangerous goods transport or any of our services, please do not hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/fernandezaedo.com\/en\/contact\/\">contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regular maintenance is crucial for any vehicle to ensure its performance and durability, and this is especially true for trucks because of the considerable weight loads they carry, in addition to their own already heavy weight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":257111,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<h1>La crisis de los conductores de mercanc\u00edas: el reto inminente del transporte<\/h1>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los transportistas de mercanc\u00edas tienen un papel clave, ya que son los encargados de garantizar el transporte de bienes y productos necesarios para mantener un correcto funcionamiento de las distintas cadenas de suministros. Este proceso a su vez es esencial para la econom\u00eda del pa\u00eds, ya que asegura el abastecimiento de las empresas y su capacidad para generar empleo e ingresos.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pesar de su importancia, esta profesi\u00f3n parece estar en peligro de extinci\u00f3n y esta situaci\u00f3n no parece generar suficiente alarma entre las autoridades pertinentes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u00bfSab\u00edas que s\u00f3lo el 6% de los conductores que trabajan en el sector europeo del transporte de mercanc\u00edas por carretera son j\u00f3venes?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esta cifra resulta muy alarmante <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">y es importante que se tomen medidas inmediatas para evitar que la situaci\u00f3n empeore a\u00fan m\u00e1s.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En Espa\u00f1a se presenta una situaci\u00f3n similar, el 70% de los transportistas tienen m\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os. La brecha existente entre los conductores que se jubilan y los transportistas nuevos que se incorporan en esta profesi\u00f3n sigue aumentando y se espera que esta situaci\u00f3n se triplique en toda Europa. Actualmente, se estima que se necesita contratar a medio mill\u00f3n de conductores, y se prev\u00e9 que la tasa de puestos vacantes para transportistas aumente hasta superar el 60% para el a\u00f1o 2026.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El problema de la falta de conductores de camiones, que ahora se ha convertido en una emergencia, comienza a ser una preocupaci\u00f3n para los 27 pa\u00edses miembros de la Uni\u00f3n Europea, gracias a las organizaciones del sector que han llamado la atenci\u00f3n sobre ello. En respuesta, la Comisi\u00f3n Europea ha propuesto adelantar la edad m\u00ednima para obtener la licencia de conducir C para veh\u00edculos pesados a los 17 a\u00f1os, permitiendo que los j\u00f3venes conduzcan bajo supervisi\u00f3n hasta los 18 a\u00f1os. Aunque esta medida podr\u00eda ayudar en la actual crisis de falta de conductores, no ser\u00e1 suficiente para solucionar el problema por s\u00ed solo. Adem\u00e1s, en muchos pa\u00edses de la UE se requiere tener m\u00e1s de 21 a\u00f1os para conducir un cami\u00f3n, y en algunos casos incluso m\u00e1s de 24 a\u00f1os.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<b>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la titulaci\u00f3n requerida para convertirse en conductor o conductora de un tr\u00e1iler?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En cuanto a la formaci\u00f3n no reglada :<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0El proceso de preparaci\u00f3n suele durar alrededor de un a\u00f1o, e implica la obtenci\u00f3n del carn\u00e9 de conducir B, la superaci\u00f3n del Certificado de Aptitud Profesional (CAP) de 280 horas, y la aprobaci\u00f3n del permiso de conducci\u00f3n C para camiones pesados r\u00edgidos, seguido del C+E para tr\u00e1ileres. La \u00faltima parte de esta formaci\u00f3n, que incluye el CAP y los carn\u00e9s para camiones, puede costar entre 4.000 y 6.000 euros, es decir, aproximadamente lo mismo que estudiar una carrera en una universidad p\u00fablica.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mediante formaci\u00f3n oficial (Formaci\u00f3n Profesional) :<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Existen dos alternativas: cursar el Grado Medio de Conducci\u00f3n de Veh\u00edculos de Transporte por Carretera (grado D de FP) u obtener el Certificado de Profesionalidad (grado C de FP).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Para la primera alternativa, en Espa\u00f1a, \u00fanicamente hay una decena de centros de FP imparten la formaci\u00f3n de 2.000 horas (dos cursos escolares) para obtener el t\u00edtulo de T\u00e9cnico en Conducci\u00f3n de Veh\u00edculos de Transporte por Carretera, pero esta titulaci\u00f3n no habilita autom\u00e1ticamente para conducir un cami\u00f3n, ya que es necesario obtener los permisos de conducci\u00f3n correspondientes de la DGT. Para la segunda opci\u00f3n, el candidato debe poseer los permisos de conducci\u00f3n de cami\u00f3n antes de iniciar la preparaci\u00f3n del Certificado de Profesionalidad (aproximadamente 400 horas), el cual adem\u00e1s requiere aprobar el examen del CAP.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No obstante, en el sector del transporte no basta con haber finalizado un ciclo formativo de FP para poder acceder al mercado laboral de forma directa.
