Drivers' Licensing Scheme * Australia - ATA pushes new one
Canberra,Australia -ATN, by Brad Gardner -March 12, 2010: -- The nation’s peak trucking lobby is calling for a new truck licensing system to fast-track driver development and fend off other industries from pinching its workers... As work continues on a national licensing framework based on competency standards, the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) wants an additional scheme as an alternative to making potential drivers wait for a set time before advancing... The ATA says the current method of making someone with a car licence wait two years before applying for a heavy rigid and the one-year wait to move from rigids to semi-trailers is a barrier to attracting and keeping workers... Under the ATA’s plan, drivers with a heavy rigid licence will be able to move ahead in six months so long as they complete a TAFE or registered training organisation (RTO) course... The ATA wants the course to cover driving semi-trailers, inspecting vehicles and trailers and planning and navigating routes. Another requirement is to record on-the-job training for a specified period...Labels: driver’s licence
