Truck Drivers

Driving is only one of the many functions that I will perform as a truck driver. I must be a good driver and I will spend many hours learning to drive various types of trucks, but I must also learn how to care for my vehicle, how to practice preventative maintenance in order that it will always be ready for its job.

I will learn how to read maps and aerial photographs, how to apply first aid, how to camouflage my vehicle and its load, and how to load it correctly for difficult and dangerous roads. I must also learn to operate my vehicle in motor convoys by day and by night, in all kinds of weather, and under all service conditions.

When I have completed this training, I will be assigned to a unit and become responsible for the operation, care and maintenance of the truck entrusted to my care.
