My friend would like to find out what's the course like, as he has been posted to be a driver as a dual vocation. It's a one month course. Is he able to clock 7000 mileage in 1 year 5 months?

What's the other vocation? Anyway, most likely not possible since he has to spend time on the other vocation too.

clocking the mileage for that CV license is almost impossible unless you are driving everyday.

even then those "full time" drivers in transport bn also not many get their CV license.

best way to clock mileage is still being a driver during those overseas exercises.

There are other conditions as well.

Can, why not ? If superior approved, why not ? As long as all conducting manpower and safety is covered, why not ?

That is how I got my cat c2.

Fyi, I am also a dual voc.

i don see it being a problem here. as long as the distance/mileage is accounted for in the log book.

i have trips that cover 50km, in a single travel.

can tell them is for drivers to clock mileage lor.

when it comes to driving, how can one learn from mistake or gain experience ? ans: is to drive more, rite ?
