That is why I have several levels of competency. If the person appears to do what the score is, and operates the truck properly, full competency. If they are still driving as a noobie, and require more time on the lift before undertaking difficult tasks although they prove they can perform menial tasks, then low level competency. If they appear to know what they are doing but I am concerned about them working in any other environment other than the one they are currently in, site-specific certification, and finally, show signs of promise, not quite there yet, then a certificate, but no permit, and they will require more time on the truck, either with me or a competent operator, and 99.9999% of the time, it is with someone within the company. They do not want to spend the money to bring me back in. However, they may call and request that I review the driving again, at which point, if I feel that there is improvement, I may up their competency level, but there is a fee for my time, and paperwork.
