When a mate of mine did his, the course was done by a woman who had no idea about driving trucks, or the actual regs. She would argue the toss about driving hours and rest periods. In the end they printed them all off for her and sent her on her way to learn them, meanwhile they got an instructor who knew what he was on about. This is not aimed at women, as has been said male instructors are not always truck drivers and do not always know the rules.

I was wondering who might have changed their mind, Or got different views about the Dcpc.
I know most were dead against it, But about 50% of drivers have done the 35 hours anyway.
I still have no intention of doing it, But i’m sure some of you that had similar views may have thought about it and think it’s a great idea now.
Most of it is rubbish to be honest,but there are times when they run through types of trailers,types of work vie not done which I find very interesting,I know recently with all the redundancies they were putting reel after reel of jobs available within the company,a fair few I’d of said not a chance,but having watched DVD on the work,had the job explained to me I would not just dismiss the job out of hand.

The dcpc is such an obvious and an outrageous ‘in your face’ counterfeit ‘non law’ LAW, designed for and to be administered by those accruing generous incomes doing state created ‘non jobs’, its not just pointless its pointedly pointless, simply an efficient revenue raising strategy to finance the ‘non jobs’ and effective at driving home the ‘state’ to citizen message that you are the controlled and they are the controllers, leaving the citizen in no doubt that they can be made to comply with any directive their new EU fuehrers care to dream up, including the utterly pointless, which is the whole point, being in possession of it simply proves the point, anyone boasting about possessing a dcpc will cause me to create a good distance between myself and such a brainwashed moron, if I get one I can think of nothing that I’ve been forced to do during the past 40 years of professional hgv driving of which I will be more ashamed.
No one is forcing you to complete the training.

Was the person that did the course name on the paper work you did. Cos there have to be known to jaupt
Unfortunately no they don’t. New trainers can deliver a course at any time during the courses approval period as long as the training centre keep their records (qualifications) on file and add them to the list of trainers for the course at next approval. If an auditor spots the course was delivered by a non-listed trainer the training centre would then have to produce the trainers qualifications.
This really makes it quite easy to stick anybody up front at any time …
