Case Study 53

Sheila drives an 18 tonne rigid gully sucker for a company called ATL Drains who are contracted to clean and repair drainage for English councils.  The depot is based next to a busy road with a hidden dip

Sheila started her shift at 04:00am and is expecting to be busy as the weather conditions have been poor over the past few days.  It’s not long before she gets a call out to Birmingham.

Sheila must exit the depot and get into the right hand lane as soon as possible to take the A38 dual carriageway to Birmingham

It’ll take Sheila around 30 minutes to get to her destination and she will spend the next seven hours working at the rear of the vehicle clearing drains.
