Major Training Group invests in new Hino 700 Series trucks to teach the drivers of tomorrow
October 19, 2009
Queensland truck training provider Major Training Group has invested in new Hino rigs to teach the drivers of tomorrow.
The business – one of the State’s fastest-growing training organisations with three depots – will use the 700 Series trucks to train and certify potential heavy vehicle operators.
General Manager Glenn Taylor says vehicles not only “look great” but are popular with the student base for being easy to drive.
“Hinos also look great on the road and it is important for us to keep up with technology and appearance, so no Major truck is more than five years old,” Taylor says.
“The training we do is representative of what goes on in the industry. We are keen to see governments take a more active role in what we do, as we are future-focussed on improving the competency of all truck drivers on the road.”
Craig Anderson, Dealer Principal at Sci-Fleet Hino where the new trucks were delivered from, says Major is working at improving driving standards across all facets of the truck industry.
“Major certify drivers of B-double trucks, but they have taken a wider approach, which goes much further than sitting in the truck and teaching someone how to change gears,” Anderson says.
