Issues Facing the Road Haulage Industry: Irish Road Haulage Association
2:00 am
Mr. Paul Jackman:
I will come in on the CPC. What we are looking for, which is possible within the directive and Belgium and Holland have applied it, is to create modules that are specific to the industry. For example, Belgium has 28 accepted modules that have certificates that drivers can do, like first-aid, eco-driving, advanced driving, crane operations and so on. Drivers can do that as their CPC. It is giving value to the operator and value to the driver, but the RSA has thus far refused to accept that.
