Professional drivers are an increasingly scarce asset as the pool of experienced drivers in southern Africa decreases with the AIDS assault. This book helps solve this problem by providing a comprehensive and essential mass of information for the new driver and a practical single-source reference for experienced drivers. Written in an easy-to-read straightforward style and generously accompanied by explanatory diagrams, it delivers not only the technical content drivers need to know but also teaches the procedures that, with practice, makes skilled professional and profitable drivers. Drivers are placed in the unique position of being entrusted with expensive equipment and cargo and are often the company’s main face-to-face contact with customers. Invest in the professionalism of your drivers and watch the bottom line grow.
