    My current first aid cert is due to expire in the next couple of months & I was wondering what you course/qualifications you have. Also what kits do you carry on your trucks. Ive looked at the pre-made kits in the green boxes & the seem pants. Ive had a kit made up by a Paramedic mate, thats got everything I should ever need in the back of my Defender. Cheers Martin

    I can fully recomend BASE. I did my CS30 & 31 & brush cutting there last year. Ian Morgan is a top bloke, his training is very good. He has spent a long time working within the industry. Ill be going back this year to do my CS38 & 39 You can borrow all the kit you need from them. If you take out a Total Arb subscription you can save 10% on your course costs. BASE is located on the Buxtons site on the A34 between Cannock & Stafford. You'll get plently of time to go into there shop & spend a fortune. Martin

    trackers

    mpb replied to bill's topic in Large equipment

    Just a tracker, but it records your location, the ignition on's & off's & speed. So your boss can watch you on a moving map image on his PC. It's all very big brother. I've heard stories of bosses turning up next to there parked up van, only to find the driver a sleep. Lets just say they dont work there anymore. Martin

    trackers

    mpb replied to bill's topic in Large equipment

    In my day to day work I fit tracker's to vehicles for fleet management purposes,(spy in the cab.) I have fitted a traker to a council chipper. The biggest problem is mounting the tracker in a hidden waterproof location & getting a gps signal from the aerial. The new gps technology is improving all the time. The latest Sirf 3 chips are a big improvement. They dont seen to be affected by the faraday cage affect, so you can hide the trackers in more remote locations. Hope thhis helps Martin
