HGV Driver
Assessments.
Professional HGV driver assessments for transport operators who need a clear, practical view of driver competence, safety, vehicle handling and operational standards.
More Than Just A Drive.
A professional driver assessment gives an operator a structured view of how a driver performs in a real working environment.
PROGroup assessments can support recruitment, ongoing driver development, post-incident review, remedial training and internal competence monitoring.
The assessment focuses on practical driving standards, vehicle control, observation, anticipation, road positioning, manoeuvring and the driver’s overall approach to professional HGV operation.
