I would like to make it clear that this post was made entirely off Allikats own back, without the knowledge of anyone at the PDA.
I was out at the time, and wasn’t aware of it until a PDA Member called me to tell me the trouble it was causing.
I tried to call Rikki, to ask for the thread to be removed as it had been made without our knowledge or approval, but wasn’t able to get through.
Immediately upon my return, (after it’s removal,so I haven’t seen it) an email was sent to Trucknet stating clearly the PDA’s position on this.
The PDA cannot be held responsible if one of it’s Members chooses to post on an open Forum about the PDA.
However, that doesn’t stop me from being totally confused as to how a site that purports to be ‘for drivers’ can prevent those same drivers having the opportunity of free training
