Question

HI,I am the operations manager for a wholesaler in Jhb.We have 10 ldv's and a 4 ton truck,with 8 drivers.In the interest of road safety,I am implementing an in-house driver education program.Can you help me with advice and or a sample test schedule for driver performance and education.My concerns are road safety,economy and the enviroment,efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Answer

The only freely available test schedules will be for the K53 test. Further education, training and awareness is done by private training concerns who will (obviously) charge for the required information.

The professional driver training qualification is probably the best example to follow:

Qualified learners are capable of:
•  Obtaining and communicating road transport operational information.
•  Assessing loads against given permissible load requirements.
•  Planning road transport service delivery that meets specified requirements.
•  Driving a vehicle conveying a specific freight commodity or category of passengers.

Qualified learners also elect to achieve at least one of the following specialisations:
•  Using computerised spreadsheets and word processing.
•  Planning the establishment of a small business according to relevant business principles.
•  Conducting vehicle maintenance according to specified procedures.
•  Operating lifting equipment according to specified procedures.

Aspects of this qualification are what RFA Approved Driving Academies have to present / offer.

Information on the whole qualification has been sent for your information.
