Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PC Barry Freeman | EP 133 |
Q: What is the role of the tram line truck and how does it fit with highways partnerships?
The tram line truck, funded by highways with partner agencies, is a moving education platform; it travels fixed routes to observe and stop unsafe behavior, while highway partners support the initiative through coordination and safety messaging.
PC Barry Freeman | EP 133 |
Q: How can listeners access toolbox talks or get in touch for training?
CVU officers offer toolbox talks widely; drivers or companies can email to book sessions, with customizable durations and tailored content; we also share links to other agencies like Drive for Better Business for policy help.
PC Barry Freeman | EP 133 |
Q: What is the biggest safety message for drivers right now?
Load security and training are the key areas needing attention; employers should provide toolbox talks and ensure drivers understand proper securing methods, while drivers should educate themselves using gov.uk resources if their company hasn't supplied training.
PC Barry Freeman | EP 133 |
Q: What does CVU actually stand for and what is its remit?
CVU stands for Commercial Vehicle Unit; it is a broad policing umbrella that mainly covers stopping HGVs and vans, but also addresses issues like waste crime, immigration crime at ports, drugs in HGVs, and taxi/commercial driver compliance.
