But they shouldn’t be teaching about using oneWhy should that be a problem? Do you want someone who cant drive a lorry, driving a lorry?

Just about everything with regards to servicing the Army has been "privatised" and passed over to civvy firms, in many cases, to the detriment of what was being done before by dedicated units or personnel.I would bet the military bases in the UK are largely supplied by commercial tankers driven by civilians, I doubt the army sends driver Bob on a click and collect supply run from the refinery. Given our army has been shrunk to about a dozen men how many suitably qualified drivers do they really have, with nothing else to be doing, to take up the call?
Bimbling around before a run up to the Mach Loop??
And why would they.....?They're not coming. They won't be delivering fuel, nor slaughtering turkey, nor picking veg.
Also checking that no one is using red diesel !!!Bimbling around before a run up to the Mach Loop??
I was just saying the same earlier, that's why I was so annoyed with Kier Starmer saying he would allow in 100 000 drivers from abroad, so there would be no incentive for the employers to improve not only the wages, but also the conditions of work for drivers, I think if that happened there would be an exodus of drivers who already work here.Good. If they do come back it'll be back to paying lorry drivers and veg pickers sh!te wages, the indigenous population won't be interested in the low paid work, and the whole sorry saga starts again.
Sadly BoJo and the neocons will have a choice of :Today its lorry drivers that are scarce.
Roll on ten yrs and it will be farmers and food in short supply
And why would they.....?
Bojo wont last that longSadly BoJo and the neocons will have a choice of :
1. Agriculture in the UK following the US model
2. Dragging cheap food in from anywhere
The damage will.Bojo wont last that long
A friend of mine - who has now left the army - joined up basically to get this qualification. His plan was to do the shortest term, get out and be a fire fighter because this apparently qualifies you for both. He said there were loads of blokes on this course and questioned why the army trained so many. He is a butcher (his pre army job) and lives in Canada now so will be no help at all.I would bet the military bases in the UK are largely supplied by commercial tankers driven by civilians, I doubt the army sends driver Bob on a click and collect supply run from the refinery.

Are they sitting at home on the dole?There's plenty of fully qualified fuel tanker drivers in the UK, the fuel companies even know who they are. Now all they need to do is offer them a good contract and chuck them the keys.
Fuss about nothing.
As long as ten years?Today its lorry drivers that are scarce.
