Make dcpc training on a working day. And the company pay you a days wages for it
Lorry drivers have to pay for dcpc training, which is just classroom work where people who don't drive tell you how to drive your vehicle safely and legally. Even though we drive them all year round. They also have to do this on one of there days off. Which is strange as its a work thing.
I would like to make this where it is done on a work day and the company have to pay you a days wages as it is a work training day. No other profession has to do work training on a day off that I'm aware of. Drivers do anywhere between 60-70 hours work a week and then are expected to do another 35 hours unpaid work on one of there 2 days off every 5 years

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is up to individual businesses, not the Government or House of Commons, whether to pay Driver CPC training fees and also whether time spent by staff doing Driver CPC training is treated as working time.
