Truckin about the district

Doing a bit of cleaning out and chucking out this morning and came across this lot.
Just one of the many jobs I've had over the years, but I remembered that there was this little gem in amongst all the literature.
So, the first one, is of the front cover and I think everybody knows who this lot is and what they do.
Next one, is the index and then the next one is the appropriate page that requires due attention.
Somewhere along the period of time that Greyhound have been operating, this has happened to them and this pamphlet/folder, is what is given to every driver and they have to read it, so somehow Greyhound knows what works and what doesn't.
This was first explained to me when doing a stint with, of all the coach companies, V.I.P. Now they knew all about this lot, what with their ricketty old heaps of junk and their bloody ridiculously tight timetables.
If only the driver of the KW had known what to do, then he would still have a truck, eh.
