DIGITAL CAMPAIGN TAKES OFF

Driver Hire is the only recruitment business offering a nationwide digital tachograph training programme. And, once visitors to our stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show heard more about it, demand for training has almost doubled.

So what is everyone getting so excited about? Well, for a start, we’re offering a comprehensive range of training materials. There’s an Operator Pack which includes a Training Manual, DVD, Powerpoint Presentation and Tutor Notes. In addition there’s a Driver Pack containing a Driver Training Manual, Driver Guide and Icon Guide. All the items have been carefully compiled working with Tachodisc, one of the UK’s leading tachograph experts. They can be used for your own in-house training programmes to ensure that drivers and staff are fully prepared.

Richard Armitage, Driver Hire’s Training Programmes’ Manager is leading the project. “New vehicles registered from 1st May must be fitted with a digital tachograph. If they haven’t already done so, operators must apply for Smartcards for their drivers, acquire download equipment, decide on how to analyse the data and also train their drivers and relevant staff as soon as possible.

“Even though drivers may not come across a truck equipped with a digital tachograph immediately but that doesn’t mean training should be delayed. While operators may not have plans to update their fleet in the near future, they may have to hire a vehicle. If it is fitted with a digital tachograph, what happens if none of their drivers can use it because they haven’t got a Smartcard or digital tachograph training?

“During The Commercial Vehicle Show we were inundated with enquiries about our training materials because more and more operators are beginning to accept the inevitable. At Driver Hire, we are able to provide them with a cost-effective and comprehensive answer to the problem - no matter where they are in the UK.”
