- Joe,
I read with interest your request (post) for yearly skills evaluations information.
I'm looking for driver proficiency testing specifically. Whether it be formal training given by our Training Department, or informal; in the back lot of the station stuff.
I noticed you had some decent responses. Is there any information you received that you could share in this regard? I thought I'd try you prior to placing another post that may cover the same ground.
Thanks…Les Chapel
