1 Share of the moving truck driver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stevedore profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A moving truck driver role treats 4 of its required skills as things a stevedore already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • manoeuvre heavy trucks
  • perform defensive driving
  • store warehouse goods
  • vehicle cargo capacity

What stands in the way is 17 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A moving truck driver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stevedore background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held organise weight of loads according to lifting equipment capacity working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held store warehouse goods handling and moving
  • already held vehicle cargo capacity services
  • already held apply techniques for stacking goods into containers handling and moving
  • already held manoeuvre heavy trucks working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform defensive driving working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the moving truck driver role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 32 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
