Skills:Â
Great professional driving skills
Again an obvious point, but drivers need to have exceptional driving skills. This ensures their safety, the success of the project they are carrying on, and the safety of others on the road.
Familiarity with vehicle maintenance
Drivers should be familiar with vehicle maintenance and able to execute any related task to make sure it is safe to drive. They should know simple things such as topping up the water in the engine, making sure that lights work, and examining oil levels.
Expert in driving heavy and light vehicles
Many employers these days prefer drivers that are skilled in driving both light and heavy vehicles. This allows drivers to be flexible in the projects they choose and companies can also save costs in hiring an additional driver. However, all drivers are not required to specialise in driving all kinds of vehicles.
