THE DRIVERS ADVOCATE For everyone who keeps it moving TDA Truck Talk podcast Listen →

The groups

Health & Welfare

Since 1 August the fit to drive rules reach every heavy vehicle over 4.5 tonnes, so your health is now a compliance question as well as a personal one. This is the group for both halves of that.

Free to join. Posted on Facebook as The Drivers Advocate Health and Welfare.

What comes up in here

The sort of thing people bring.

  • Medicals and what they actually involve
  • The fit to drive duty and what it asks of you
  • Long days, bad food, and not sleeping right
  • Being straight about it when you're not travelling well

Not lawyers, not an official body — drivers and advocates who've been through the same thing. General information only. For anything serious, talk to a qualified professional.

Not the right door?

The other fifteen.
