Case Study 45

Jamie is driving a 44 tonne articulated lorry and is due to deliver a sea container from Southampton docks to Birmingham. He starts driving at 04:00 and will continue until he is legally required to take a break.

This is his last shift before he takes two days off work.

When he returns, he will attend a manual-handling course that will contribute the first 7 hours of periodic training towards his driver CPC renewal. His current DCPC card expires in 2023.

During his journey, he will need to fill up with diesel and AdBlue.
