MODULE 4 QUESTIONS HAVE CHANGED AND BEEN UPDATED. PLEASE VIEW OUR 2017 DRIVER CPC MODULE 4 VIDEO. • Mod 4 Driver CPC 2019
One of the questions for the LGV Driver CPC Module 4 examination could be selecting and using appropriate restraining device for a specific load. There are a total of 4 devices that could be used, including ratchets / webbing, chains, load tensioning and roping. The examiner will tell you what load they want you “secure”. This is a simulation and you will not actually be given a load. Once the examiner tells you the load you select the correct load restrain and demonstrate on a trolley (with anchor points) how you would use it. This video should give you an idea of what you might expect. For formal training visit www.nolgvbrokers.co.uk or www.eptraining.co.uk
Really good video. One of the best on CZcams on the matter (I have seen many). Well done!
Hi, just passed my cpc mod4 today with 100%. Thank you very much for
this video. I watched video like 4 times and manage to passed for first
try!!!
your dolly knot demo was alot easier then what the instructor on my mod 4 test did. yours is alot neater compared to my instructor.
i was sent home today from work because i did,nt have a clue using rachets,thanks pal informative video. my advice to all young new lgv drives out there dont panic never rush be prepared and keep learning, be chuffed.
Brilliant! I have my mod4 tomorrow and after watching both videos definitely feel more at ease thanks!
Brilliant, best CPC video I've seen, great explanation of the dolly knot, I've looked at loads of videos scratching my head, this one was simple, nailed it. Thanks a lot.
Passed mod 4 this week after my practical test a few weeks back (first time). Just a note to say thank you so much for your informative videos. They have been spot on. Cheers mate!
This is great! I have my test on the 29th Nov and my instructor hadn't told me this could be a part of the test! I watch your other Mod 4 cpc video sometimes but I only came across this randomly by searching 'how to dolly knot' out of interest.
Wish I knew how to tie it off though. Great video, very helpful.
Did you pass? And if so any advice for someone looking to get into industry?
The "dolly knot" is still a must have in any drivers armoury. Good description and video from E.P.Training but there is a much easier, simpler way of tying one off.....
Well explained video, great help for my upcoming CPC Many thanks
got my test tomorrow hopefully ill pass i think your videos have been such a good help time will tell ;)
The Dolly knot had always fascinated me,since the years I helped out on Rowlands Fair,and I watched Albert Rowland tying down tarps with that knot. He could do it so fast,it was unbelievable. I still even now think of it as one of the most fascinating knots ever invented. Thanks for the video!
Well done E.P training....i just pass my module 4 yesterday based on your videos only. thanks to your videos, keep loading videos on youtube.
Very helpful I have my test in 3 hours and just realised my trainer showed me another dolly knot... Thing I'll go with yours
Great video, clear, concise and straight to the point. Best dolly know explanation I've seen.
+Abdullah John James McDaid Tanks very much for your comments. Glad it helped
Thanks E.P Training your module 4 videos have definitely help me with what the the test is going to be like
Best video , makes preparation so much easier highly recommend
Very kind of you
Just watched your video and learnt how to do that dolly knot. very useful. Thanks same time had fun time with my 12y. old daughter.. she can do it aswell now :D thank you for video...ready for my cpc at the beginning of january.
Thanks for this, start flat bed work tomorrow and was told to go off and learn a Dolly Knot in case I need to sheet. Best video I've seen in terms of explaining it simply
Cheers Harry and good luck with the job
Sean
thank you!!youte video is pro+++...you are a good teacher and every time you show and explained very good
About time they offered training for load restraints. Whether or not you will need a dolly knot is immaterial. You should know it in case your only option is rope? Nice Samba's fella..
thanks for the videos guys .im doing my cpc next week and found both your videos very informative.
Many years since i had to tie a dolly this video was a great help thanks
I like to thank you and your efforts u done on this video. ......I passed my test today and only use this video....thanks again all the best for u
Watched this before my test this morning. I passed with 100%
In Ireland thinking of going for the C Licence these videos are very informative will deff check out the rest . I am sure a lot of the procedures in the UK are similar to here. :-)
I thought most of you Paddy`s just drove without a licence , that`s how it used to be .
Cheers guys you've been a big help with all your videos, easy peasy to follow them
Jodie craig Thanks Jodie. Glad it helped!!!!
Passed my Module 4 at Guildford. Was nervous! Got 100per cent in the end. Well pleased. Cheers for posting the video. It did help. Bloke in vid was good at explaining it simple. Saw some of your EP boys up at test centre. Many Thanks. now for my C+E in september
Carl Diffy Come and see us when ready Carl. We have proper artics here!!!
A very useful video mate thanks.
Many Thanks Excellent an simply put. Doing my Cpc mod 4 test on wed. Keep up the Good Work.
Carl Diffy Thanks Carl for your comments. Glad it may help. Please let us know how you get on?
Excellent, most informative demonstration.👍
Thank you E.P. Training!
Thanks, i got 100% thanks to this video.
Ratman rumpleshtine Yes. Did you also get any formal training?
I was always taught a knot _veeery_ similar to what folks call a “dolly knot”, but the way you make the loop is different. I was taught by both my father and grandfather (who was in the Navy for years!) as a naval knot. It does the EXACT same thing, and while a dolly knot is already fairly easy to take apart, it’s still even _easier_ to take the knot I was taught apart.
Thank you for doing these videos, they are really usefull.
As it happens, your video was the only reason I passed the cpc test. Don't count on Atkins lgv to help you, I was the only person to pass in my group and it was no thanks to their 5 minute walk around just before the test. Cheers EPC! Ps, I did the dolly knot in the end, it was the bit where you twist the rope I couldn't see at first.
+Chris Carroll Hi Chris, Thanks for taking the time to comment on this video, which was only for the purposes as a guide. The training companies should be giving you some more comprehensive training. All the same really pleased you did it and got it!
Hi Shaun, I have found this video really helpful.
Feel able to book in now for module 4, then I can get out on the road, finally!
Shirley Brown Hi Shirley. Go and get 'em. You will be fine
Thanks guys. Having failed my first attempt at the Mod4, I watched your videos all weekend and got 100% today in my re-test. Many thanks.
Hi what did they ask you on your test as I have mine tomorrow and so nervous
@@kamranolodum it was a little while ago now but it was things like what type of restraint would you use for certain type of loads. Other than that I think it was stuff like the safety checks you have to do before commencing a journey. Try not to be too nervous and good luck 🤞
Would just like to add, on the test you have the option of either ratchet strap or the dolly. So don'y panic if you can't master this, just go with the ratchet!
Many Thanks i am on a combined course paid for class 2 an me C+E etc. with co' in Hook who i sure you know. Did notice you use proper Artics not W+D which i would prefer to learn in Artic. All booked though. I wish you guys all the best in hindsight i would have booked you lot but it was paid for by 2nd party. Keep up the goid work Shaun.
Dolly Knot is the Legend
i have to get some rope to pratice the dolly knot :) thanks for great advice and tips on how to pass lgv test great vids keep up the great work :) if i lived in surry id deffo come to use
stephen mcaleese Thanks Stephen. Very nice of you to say that. #feelingtheove
Cheers helped me get ready for test
Great video ! Would probably have helped to show how to tie off a dolly knot to finish...but one of the best videos out there
Thanks Steve. Point taken!
very well explained especially the dolly knot good video
+Sloposse Thank you
Things have definitely changed from when I passed my HGV I was taught to rope and sheet a load part of my training in 1978
Well done, very useful video thanks a lot mate.
Thanks
roping and sheeting was hard work back in the day! no ratchet straps and curtain siders!!
1963 shows you learnt the hard way
Loading wood at portside in Shoreham with a gale force wind blowing in pissing down rain standing on the top of the load opening out my sheet at 12ft high , sliding everywhere and wind blowing sheet all over , fuck aye it was hard back in the day , glad when I stopped doing it .
All in all a good video for the new start. Dolly could be single or double, a second dolly could be used to make a rope hook where one is missing. The ratchet strap can go either through and up or just down.Excess rolled into a circle and tied off using itself.
+Denis Nicklen Thanks for your comments Denis.
Great teacher
Thanks
thank you nicely explained
Thanks, it's been about 16 years since I did a dolly knot which I forgot how to do.
What a bloody boss 💪🙌
Great professional video , very clear Thanks
Is this the same as the Truckie /er knot?
Thanks to E P Training I took my national & international CPCs in 1990 and sailed through both. This video is a lesson on how to please an examiner who has probably never done the job, not how to secure a load. I would never fix a chain to a hook, only the chassis, and only fix a strap to a hook when the chassis is not accessable, ie over the 5th wheel.
No criticism or offence is intended to the instructor.
It also worries me to think someone driving a 44 tonne truck needs to be shown how to use a ratchet strap!
Everyone has to start somewhere mate
@Russ Bere Exactly that mate, I've been driving myself now for 7 months and encountered quite a few of these out of the box "experts" 🙄
good luck getting that dolly out after 4 hours driving through freezing fog
Thanks 100% pass
TBH I am still a big fan of roping and sheeting, for the majority of loads with the exception of steel. with a correctly roped and sheeted load, I can see what is happening with the load at all times. It was all I was issued with when I first started back in the day !
Very good my friend
Thank you
👍👍
Thank you for you comments
We hope it helps
Nice one
got my mod4 test next week with the dolly not do you have to show the tie off as well or just the not is Ok
Thanks so much sir
Great video mate
Thanks very much
No problem, is there any websites were i could practice the cpc case studies? i have the exam in a few days,
thomas Sheridan There are not many as the Q and A have not be released. You could try a website called www.theory4all.co.uk. The questions in the exams are very straightforward however. Good luck!
so examiner may askme directly about using doly knots or I can just always use straps which are much easier?
thank you
This vid is v good keep up the good work lads I go for my test soon
Fantastic explanation. However, the camera shots are absolutely unuseful.
Yeah I know. Sorry!
I have seen your video on what to use on ratchets and they way you use the left over of strap in the wind they blow loose and look untidy so to stop this thread the left over strap through the handle and fold the loose strap in about 6inches and put it under the handle before locking the handle strap they never move and look better ok ..they say by some comments that old drivers have bad tips but after 50 years I have had we could offer so much i had 30yrs driving out of swiss and to Russia and many other countries at -40 in Russia and i saw on of the other videos of an instructor say we dont use rope I think he was trained by the Army or so cos thats what they would say and i dont know any sheet on a flat bed that can be secured by ratchets alone ... take care stay safe I forgot when you made the hitch with the rope you locked the rope by going over it twice but when you do that you can't pull the rope you have to undo each one by hand but that tip is the old hand showing you sir
I've got my test on wednsday great video thanks i let you kow:(
and?................................................

E.P. Training yeah got a 95% pass instructor stopped me before end of test as id all ready passed so thanks so much
christopher penn Nice!! Well done
Hi just afte some advice. I ben driving coaches for 25 years. Got al my cards up today, but what do I need to go from psv to class 1 C + E .
Is that something I could do ?
Nice.
Sean, I have heard that the Dolly Knot is not tested in the CPC test anymore could you confirm or deny that please. I’m told it’s because roping is no longer done replaced by straps or chains (or both). Many thanks for the excellent videos.
Hi Edd. Thanks for your comments. You are right you do not need to do the dolly knot. It does not not come into the "new questions". This video is a little out of date. The new Q's only cover sheet metal and the load tension bar. Kind regards
how do you secure the bit of rope you are holding down after tying the dolly knot?
Only 2 choices in restraints when I started driving HGV ropes or chain and dwang
Try a double dolly
twice as tight
pinkyman5155 or a triple
Didn't do any of these on my test lol But id get shown how to use tgem obviously..I am using rachet straps atm as I'm in a flat bed delivering building supplies :)
Mickey. This is not for the driving test. It's for the Module 4 Initial Driver CPC. You may not have needed to take this particular test.
Sean Pargeter yes I know. Was just saying I didn't do this on my mod 4
MickeyBravo20V Sorry Mickey. I never read messages properly. TBH I think most students don't get the opportunity to do restraining devices in the Mod 4 test.
But if you let go of the rope it fills apart
Thx
Nice presentation but bloody awful ratchet tidy. Hopefully that's been improved. Really liked the dolly k ot demo and the demo on the braces
Thanks very much
Yes cv much better now
Not sure if the test requires it but a dolly knot as shown is useless if not tied off afterwards. I personally finish with two half hitches underneath the dolly to lock it off.
+Bal117 Correct. My bad! You are absolutely right.
I carry plant machinery, and have never put two links of a chain into a hook on the ratchet, ive always thought this would over load the ratchet hook. ???
Are you based over near Dorking in Surrey?
Andyb2379 We are based in Leatherhead and do the Driver CPC test at Guildford. Next dates are 8th July. Only 2 places left. Can be booked via our website www.eptraining.co.uk
so how to secure the rest of the rope at the end because it wasn't shown?
double hitch it!
strange as I've just came out the army as a driver and I'm doing module 4 wednesday but we have rachet and straps facing outwards.
Jake Johnston you guys actually used ratchet straps 😂
I never had eyes on my flat trailers
I assume you have to tie off the end of the rope to stop it coming undone??
Yes of course.
why didnt you use one chain as they do on tests
It's optional how you use the chains. You can use 1 or 2. We find it easier with 2. But it's up to you mate
s it at all possible for people with autistic spectrum disorder. to become hgv drivers ? if not im leaving the uk for ever i have had 2 or 3 life appemts when i was about 23 24 not had any ever since in the past been on meds i should never of been on is there any light at the end of the tunnel for me ? i just really wanna drive a hgv befour my life is up current age is 26
when i was a lad it use to be called a Hitch,
Good training ...wearing no gloves !!!!!!
Nigel Hill Did you watch the video as a need to do your Driver CPC Mod 4 or just trawling CZcams? This is a guide for the test only. During the test candidates are NOT required to wear gloves. I would agree in the "real world" you may choose to wear gloves but this is for the test.
You missed the bit on all of them, where you HAVE to twang the tensioned restraint, and confidently say "that aint going anywhere!!!"
These days can only use a Dolly to secure a sheet & not the load. The load must have rachets or chain binders .
Erm, how do you undo a dolly knot?
+roop298 Possibly too late but since no one else answered... Tied correctly a dolly knot should be simple to undo. Simply slacken the rope around the hook until you can unhook it, but don't pull it all the way through the knot, then take the tail of your rope and pull the loop back through the knot and everything will fall apart back to one straight piece of rope. Hope this helps.
the camera isnt following the instruction closely enough in this vid
I did roping and sheeting for thirty years but if i left a 'dolly' knot with a massive loop like that i would'nt have lasted thirty minutes! That was'nt a 'dolly' you showed either, it's a double 'dolly'.
Should be done on trailer where to anchor hooks not on actual load as it looks.
11.17
i didnt think you had to show how to do a dolly knot anymore
+Joel Liddle It is the candidate who chooses the appropriate restraining device and one of these could be rope. This could be used when roping and sheeting. However it is OK to use the ratchet if preferred.
