Best Practice launch at CV Operator Show.

The Government is to launch two new guides in its Van Best Practice programme at the CV Operator Show, which takes place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 13 - 15 April.

One guide is called Safe Vans and provides easy to understand guidance for operators to incorporate safer, more efficient practices into their operations.  The other is a Driver Essentials Pack – a set of hand-sized cards providing tips and information on topics such as vehicle security, loading/unloading, driver hours and vehicle checks.  They are essential in-van reference tool for both sole traders and drivers.

They join the two guides that are already available – Efficient Vans and the Fuel Management Pack.  These also offer practical tips and advice for fleet managers and van drivers, and are available online at http://vanbestpractice.businesslink.gov.uk/cms/guides/.
