Morning to all
Is there any kind of campaign going on in relation to banning hgv driver cpc… as i guess it does apply to all with hgv entitlement
If there is a petition going on then can i have the details … if not is anyone likely to be starting one
Stay safe
RonNo there isn’t and no you shouldn’t be starting one. As can be seen with plenty of examples in this forum and on HGV Facebook pages it is more than sorely needed as there are a lot of drivers who don’t even have a grasp of the basics of tacho rules.
If anything the DCPC needs to be made HARDER. It needs to involve a written test with a pass mark of around 70-80%, similar to other trade exams you’d do in other fields.
At least then you can say the ‘‘Driver shortage’’ is actually genuine. 
You will get a double whammy of two extremes, a lot drivers will fail because they aint too academic, even though they may be bloody good drivers, and a lot of academic types will pass, even if they will never make drivers in real terms as long as they have ■■■■ orifices.
