training
 
well if you are working [driiving]for a reputable firm, the company should pay.but at the end of the day,the responsibility is yours.yes your traffic manager should know all about these rules now.if not he is either in the wrong job or burying his head in the sand.2014 not so far away.it is your liveiliehood.

when you reach 65,you have to renew it yearly.[medical yearly].i suppose as long as you pass your medical and prove you can handle an h.g.v safely,you could still be driving when you get your text via your hands free cab phone,from the queen on your 100th.sitting outside an r.d.c waiting to get tipped.:)don,t forget your c.p.c

I heard tonight that the first hint of sanity ever is coming out of Brussels, ie. shops can now sell misshapen vegetables and fruit. All we can pray for is that they see sense in other areas like this crazy idea of all commercial drivers holding a cpc. They did this when I was at sea and all it did was to give people a bit of paper for the desk wallahs to take away from you if things went **** up, it never prevented the catastrophies and never will.
