Hi again, Yes I do agree with you both, but Basic training gets the trainee to use the truck in a safe control manner, and as for use of the service brake depending on the type of truck this is also taught.. If when doing a refresher course an experianced operator fails to apply the park brake you are unable to mark as fault unless the truck moves and not the mast. All safe operating procedures need to be included in Basic training along with reasons why. Giving the operator the choice to assess for them selves what action is needed when operating.
