More and more companies insist that their FLT drivers are trained and licensed - and rightly so. However, once they have their license, many operators forget about their training. In the UK, drivers are trained to apply the handbrake before making any load movements. This is obviously not practical in the real world. Quite apart from the operator effort required, the park brakes are for parking and the service brakes (footbrake) are for use in service. Shouldn't the training reflect correct and be more aligned to the real world? Does this dilure the effectiveness of the training?
Does anyone else have thoughts on this?
