What do you feel has been the most valuable part of the safe and fuel-efficient driver development course?

"We have undergone defensive driver training and driver assessor training, but this course added a totally unexpected but highly useful dimension. It reiterated how saving fuel can save lives as well as the environment. The truck manufacturers only scratch the surface about how to get the best out of the truck. This now gives us the tools to take our internal driver development programme to the next stage".

Bill Owen, Operations Manager, Nijman Zeetank.

"The safety aspect and the attention to detail was an invaluable part of the course. The training given was of extremely high standard, both in the way it was presented and its content. I can honestly say that I have learned a great deal, which I can now introduce to the business".

Jimmy Mc Keegan, Driver Trainer, Nijman Zeetank.

"Nijman Zeetanks participation in developing a fuel saving programme will generate significant cost savings, whilst enhancing our image as an environmentally conscious company. Liquid Management Solutions has already commenced a programme to help manage the drivers and address the root cause of high fuel consumption, namely the drivers right foot!"

Clive Riggall, Managing Director, Nijman Zeetank.
