How are drivers and operators selected your countr
Since this is one of my areas of speciality... I can't resist for asking...In SA, in some dangerous sectors, such as mining, transport and construction, we assess also the drivers and operators psychomotoric abilities, such as ...eye, hand foot coordination, the ability to manage a stressful situation, ability to concentrate in monotonous circumstances and the ability to see signals outside the normal peripheral field. We have norms and a risk profile is created for every applicant. These risks are thus managed as part of a safety strategy to ensure that incidents and accidents are minimised. This is besides the normal training and licensing process that also take place.
I am curious, do you have similar practices in your country or sectors in your country or are drivers and operators selected primarily on training and reference/track record?

27/30hrs non-stopping is fit for duty/I have no idea
While they are required to go through some training(I think it's about 2 weeks?) they don't need to be physically gifted in any way.
