Hello! During a training course on dangerous goods last weekend, the topic of EU-BKF was discussed among the whole truck drivers at once. As is always the case: Everyone wants to say what – nobody knows. So I went to search for information and found it with a good overview under EU-BKF. In a quite clear structure, the requirements for professional drivers are presented there. Decisive whether you have a basic qualification or a qualified driver. If you have to complete your driving licence after the 09.2008 (bus driver) or 09.2009 (truck driver) you have to prove such a qualification before you can work as a driver. I no longer describe what the exact content of such a qualification is, by reference to the link. However, for most of us this should not be true, since we probably all already have the cardboard. Nevertheless, you also have If you have made your driver’s license before the above-mentioned dates, you must definitely continue to train – if you are not a trained professional driver. The first training course for all bus drivers must be completed by 2013 at the latest and for all truck drivers by 2014 at the latest. This training course takes place in 5 units á 7 hours and can also be completed, for example, by participating in a driving safety training or an ADR seminar. The training is to be repeated every 5 years. Of course, these trainings are not for nothing, but must be paid again expensively and cost also working time. However, if you do not take part in such training, your driving license loses. So example: Someone made his driving licence class 2 15 years ago and since then drives in a forwarding company. He does his work safely and reliably every day. If someone like this does not have training as above b It is also interesting to note another detail: the much-worn Polish drivers already have the EU BKF in their pockets. Poland has made the BKF a direct obligation for all truck drivers because of its accession to the EU. What do you say on the subject? Looking forward to your opinions! Greetings de Kölsche
