A graduated system of commercial vehicle licences is long overdue. No light truck licence until say two years on an open car licence without suspension or cancellation, then another two years of logged experience before stepping up to a medium truck, then a heavy rigid, then semi-trailer, and say another period of logged experience before being able to try for multi-combination. College training in occupational safety, loading techniques and load security, basic maintenance, trouble shooting, and repair to be mandatory. This would elevate truck driving to the status of a skilled trade.
