The 6 necessary elements of driver training - Part I

Ewals approach driver training

Being a professional driver is already a complex and responsible task. Being a driver within the multimodal network, you need even more skills. There is no room for safety hazards when securing cargo for rail transport which goes 140 km/h, or on a deck of ship shipment where the trailer angle is up to 45 degrees. This is why Ewals has a unique approach to driver training, designed to ensure that all drivers are adequately trained in using the company's patented equipment up to the highest safety standards. The training program consists of six elements that blend theoretical and practical knowledge. By following these six steps, Ewals ensures that all its drivers are adequately trained and knowledgeable about the company's equipment and procedures. This helps to create a safe and efficient work environment for everyone involved. Jeannette Jansen, Manager of Ewals Academy, explains our approach to driver learning.

‘’We think working for Ewals Cargo Care as a driver is a specific and responsible profession. Being an Ewals driver and a part of a logistical chain, you are an important representation in contact with customers, and you need to work with patented equipment and prepare trailers and cargo for multimodal transport. This is why we believe in extra training of 6 elements. All elements alone provide value, so the result, not the order, matters.’’ – Jeannette Jansen, Manager Ewals Academy.
