is a company that is committed to providing specialist help and advice to goods vehicle operators based across the East Midlands and East Anglia.

We  offer expert audits of existing procedures; induction and refresher training for administration and driving staff; analysis of analogue and digital tachograph records and ongoing advice on company procedures for customers.

It is essential that all drivers' and operators are now using the drivers' hours digital tachograph recording equipment correctly and that administratve staff are competent when it comes to the downloading and storage of records from the driver card and also from the vehicle unit. Remember, in the UK, since the statutory instrument was confirmed on 6th February 2008, it has been a legal requirement that driver cards are downloaded at least every 28 days (preferably every 21 days) and that vehicle units are downloaded at least every 56 days.

Operators must be collecting in from their drivers' all the relevant records by the time 42 days have passed. Not a problem with digital driver records, but it's important you have procedures in place to ensure that analogue records are collected and periodically checked within 28 to 42 calendar days, to keep you alert to any drivers' records infringements and also ensuring that you are working within the obligations of the company Operator licence.

Since January 2008 our services have been extended into the provision of classroom driver training courses to our existing clients and we can now provide all operators and drivers' the opportunity to attend a two hour digital tachograph training for drivers awareness course, at a cost of only £45.00 (+ VAT) per delegate.  Anyone can attend the open courses, which are being presented twice a month (on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings) throughout the rest of the year (2008) from our training unit situated to the West of Peterborough

We have made the conscious decision to present the courses to a maximum of  only ten delegates at a time, with two members of Truck UK staff on hand to present the information and deal with individual queries, thereby ensuring that delegates get as much benefit as they can by attending.

Company courses can be tailored to specific requirements and presented at a time and a place to suit your business.  We can also provide company specific driver and/or management courses at our training unit in South Lincolnshire.

Company specific courses are designed to meet specific company needs and presented at a time and location to suit each client. If you are interested just e-mail company courses giving a brief explanation of what sort of bespoke training you are looking for, what type of operation you have, your location and how many delegates you are thinking of putting through training. You will receive a response as soon as possible, outlining what we believe we can offer and exactly what the cost to you will be. Unlike many other training providers we never expect prospective customers to 'sign up' if they show interest and we do not employ professional sales people.  You should now be seriously considering the implications on your business on the introduction of the Driver CPC. From September 2009 all of your drivers will need to undergo 7 hours of accredited training every year (35 hours every 5 years) for the rest of their professional driving career. If you want to know more about this new requirement e-mail: Driver CPC and we'll send you through our free 'Truck UK Concise Guide to the Driver CPC'. This guide is normally sent through electronically in pdf format, but if you would rather receive a hard copy just add your correspondence address to the e-mail.

Truck UK is also used in an Expert Witness capacity regarding Goods Vehicle Operator Licence compliance.

has applied to the JAUPT for accreditation to become a recognised provider of Driver CPC training, so that we can provide our customers with the appropriate and required classroom driver training to ensure compliance with Driver CPC requirements.

From September 2009, when the Driver CPC is added to the existing raft of rules and regulations that truck drivers' and operators have to contend with, every existing vocational/professional truck driver will need to start working towards gaining a driver qualification card (DQC), completing 35 hours of training by September 2014, so that he/she can continue to be legally employed as a truck driver. If you're a truck driver don't be lulled into a false sense of "it doesn't affect me till after 2014"

True, existing HGV licence holders have been granted ' grandfather rights' that exclude them from the Driver CPC till 2014 and, if you're already a truck driver, you don't technically have to do anything till September 2014............BUT, if you don't you will need to undergo 35 hours of training between 1st September and the 11th September 2014, which means that you shut your eyes until 35 hours before 11th September 2014 and then try and source training to allow you to keep driving trucks for a living, or you could take our advice and undertake 7 hours a year from September 2009 onwards!!! PLEASE NOTE - THERE IS NO EXAMINATION OR TESTS THAT YOU MUST PASS - JUST A PERIOD OF TRAINING.

Truck UK will be providing one-day 7 hour modular training courses from September 2009 that will count towards the periodic training required to ensure compliance. As already mentioned above, we will be recommending and advising that all drivers take 7 hours training a year from 2009, rather than 'hanging on' till 2014 in the hope that things will go away.

What's more, we have now put in place services for operators in the Bus and Coach sector through our subsidiary company, BusUK. So, from September this year - 2008, we will be able to provide Driver CPC accredited training to professional bus and coach drivers. For information e-mail Driver CPC with BusUK
