Driver Training Programme

Jack Richards has appointed Ian Riches one of our longest serving and most experienced drivers to head up our Driver Training Programme. The aim of this programme is train drivers all aspects of their job from daily safety checks on their trucks, to Health and Safety training including manual handling techniques through to fuel efficient driving techniques and fork lift truck accreditation. Ian is using some of the most modern techniques and equipment such as the Mercedes In Cab monitoring system ‘Fleetbord’ and Volvo’s equivalent system ‘Dynafleet’. Ian confirms that he knows training makes a difference " Jack Richards is a better place to work because we take training seriously, the new technology provided by Mercedes and Volvo makes my job easier by helping each driver understand what they can do to improve their driving style and efficiency".
