“Large vehicles pose additional challenges to our crews, including working at height, independent movement of the seat, cab, and wheel suspension (making stabilisation of the vehicle difficult) and, naturally, any risk posed by the load the vehicle is carrying.
“We train hard for multiple scenarios to be there when you need us.
Stay safe.”
