Please note that PDO has determined that tankers should be PARTIALLY loaded in order to ensure the driver is trained in a vehicle whose handling characteristics more closely match those which are active when the vehicle is being used in its everyday tasking.

The vehicle should be approximately HALF FULL.

IF THE VEHICLE IS FOUND TO BE EMPTY, OR CONTAINING SO LITTLE MATERIAL AS TO DETRACT FROM THE PURPOSE OF ENSURING THE DRIVER CAN SAFELY MANAGE SUCH A VEHICLE IN A SEMI-LOADED STATE, THE DRIVER WILL BE DECLARED A `NO SHOW" , THE TRAINING CANCELLED AND ALL COURSE FEES FORFEITED.
