So I’m in the process of writing my own Driver CPC modules with the aim of getting them all approved and currently on the security one. Covered various things from theft and its different types, thieves tactics, stowaways, fuel theft, vehicle theft, load theft, terrorism. But as ever I’m very open to hearing what others think I could or should cover. If you’re angrily opposed to the Driver CPC I know, and I know why, I can’t change the law for you but I can make the experience a whole lot more enjoyable, more educational and more worthwhile. I add stories from my own career when relevant, any stories on this subject from you would be interesting as I’ve actually suffered almost no crime in my professional career. As you can see one way I’m trying to make the entertaining is by popping humour in here and there.
Suicide , 4 days in a row of online cpc rubbish has me about there

That’s covered in another module 
Corporate logistical solutions lecture delivered by Carryfast incorporating A frame specific technology and load bearing features to enable hand ball delivery to pallet hubs.
Every time I return to my vehicle after it being out of my sight I do a quick walk around paying special attention to the fifth wheel pin. It’s amazing how many drivers I see waddling back from the Greggs shop and just jump straight in, fire up and drive off.
This really needs to be impressed upon drivers that this is totally necessary.
Ah yes that’s actually a good tip that I shall integrate into security. It is a part of my vehicle checks course but does have a place on security too. Thanking you

We had a night man many years ago who always fitted a nut and bolt in place of the dog clip. As he said, don’t give the toe rags an opportunity. Some nasty people lurking around in the dark. Regards Kev.
Not security related but I personally think a CPC module on basic 1st aid what to do in an accident .
how to use a fire extinguisher if you carry one etc would be a good idea personally .

Or how to accelerate an existing fire with a gallon of petrol for Actros drivers.

ADR teaches basic roadside FA and use of a fire extinguisher (Core module, usually the morning of Day 2 with a standard course), but this can only be delivered by an SQA approved ADR instructor. Apart from ADR there’s no legal obligation for a truck to carry an FE or for the drivers to know how to use one.
A one-day First Aid course is an excellent way to get seven hours of DCPC in, but that is generally outside the remit of the typical DCPC trainer. Where I deliver my ADR they have several external NUCO-approved EFA trainers who are drafted in to deliver their standard course, but that specific training provider has undertaken the work to have the NUCO EFA course approved for DCPC, hence it’s worth seven hours. Generally it goes down really well with candidates.

A padlock would probably be a good solution then if you were concerned.

Bad idea. When I was young and I listened to scare stories too much I went down this route. Thing is being a small hole it needs to be a small padlock, usually meaning cheap. After a week of winter weather it seized and was really quite hard to get off when I was inevitably dropping the trailer in a port for a ferry about to leave
Cyber security, particularly smishing or to give it’s proper term text based phishing.
A lot of folks on here have said most of thier communication with their company or agency is by text message. Sometimes the only method of communication. So while this may seem like it’s not relevant, it most certainly is.
Oh that’s a very interesting angle thank you
