Dumbing Down Driver Training

Have you ever heard the metaphor about the "crabs in a bucket"? It's based on the observation that if a single crab tries to climb out of a bucket, the group will pull him down, preventing him from escaping. It embodies the mindset: "If I can't have it, neither can you."

We have a crabby example in this TNT podcast where we learn about one province being compelled to dumb-down truck driver training seemingly to satisfy the other nine provinces. Jim Park and Stan Campbell talked to Kelly Henderson, the Executive Director at Trucking Human Resources Sector Council. She tells us about the positive driver training in Nova Scotia, but what Kelly told us about MELT shocked us. You have to hear this.
