"Shell-Mex and BP driver induction courses are the start of a career", writes Paul Brockington in a special article on tanker driver training in next week's issue of CM; there is advanced training as well in the oil company's syllabus for drivers.
Snow on the northern hills has not stopped CM's testers, and the January 16 issue will contain their report of a road test and long-distance operational trial of the Ford D.1000 in 24-ton artic form, with the Perkins V8 engine.
Next week's issue also contains the first in David Lowe's new series of articles on controlling transport operation—at all levels of the business. For his first feature he has chosen Silver Roadways, a company which has been achieving notable success with its briefing technique for depot managers.
The maintenance aspect of the application for an Operator's licence is an important one; on January 16 "Know the Law" will be looking at this, while in the same issue Handyman will be explaining how use of the lathe can reduce down-time. Some implications of CMR will be explained by our insurance expert in his column next week.
