Highest licence grade?

Did you get to take the truck on the skid pan as a part of your course?

No! What the hell that's not fair??

We got to play with the semi on the wet pan because the instructor thought we needed to know how to stop the truck in all conditions, but she said they weren't insured for us to get in full skid pan mode like she showed us a few years early when we did the 4wd course and the skid pan was part of completing the course. I'm fairly sure it's part of the extended course now

What training institution was this at? I still have to do a few accreditations.

It's now DECA but I did most of my courses through them before they were officially a DECA trainer. I don't know that I can be bothered learning much more now days but if I did I'd always go back to the same place over and above anywhere else. The joint I did my MR through in Melbourne was hopeless, they didn't care about pass or fail and they didn't do anything other than the basics, this joint down here have always been very thorough although I do know of two other blokes who wouldn't agree. Like me they got the female instructor for their courses and just couldn't handle having a woman show them how to drive a truck, I actually preferred her over growly man (the supervisor).
