Supporting Our Business Partners

Management Approach

With mixer truck fleet of over 200 mixer trucks, supporting our business partners, lorry-owned drivers, has become more critical than ever. Not only there is a pressing challenge of shrinking labour force, but its effects are also exacerbated by the demanding nature of mixer truck operators and the lengthy process required to obtain the special driving license. These factors collectively contribute to a significant manpower deficit in this sector.

In addition, mixer trucks possess unique attributes compared to other vehicles, such as a high center of gravity that shift constantly, and the nature of concrete which affects momentum and braking distance, etc. The skills and awareness of truck operators are critical for ensuring safe daily operations.

In our efforts to stay ahead of these challenges, all licensed drivers are provided with thematic driving safety training. The training program comprises of classroom training, practical training, immersive virtual reality simulation, and driving assessments, enhancing their understanding on the physics behind traffic incidents and defensive driving techniques to stay safe on roads.

In parallel, efforts are also being made to upgrade the work environment to make it more conducive and appealing. This involves adopting automated solutions where possible to mitigate risks when drivers perform truck cleaning and dislodging. AI cameras are also installed to assist drivers to timely detect and respond to unsafe situations on roads. Proper truck washing stations are also set up at each plant to enable drivers to carry out cleaning works at end of the shifts.
