Dolly Knot and Driver CPC

We hope you find this video useful. If so please leave a review on www.trustpilot...
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.

Really good video. One of the best on KZbin on the matter (I have seen many). Well done!

[@lukchar]

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!!!

[@Sheetzy89]

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.

[@shahpesh]

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.

[@leeky1988]

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.

[@azeemshahidmuhammad8199]

Did you pass? And if so any advice for someone looking to get into industry?

[@abdullahjohnjamesmcdaid9281]

Great video, clear, concise and straight to the point. Best dolly know explanation I've seen.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

+Abdullah John James McDaid Tanks very much for your comments. Glad it helped

[@jamesalexander1449]

Well explained video, great help for my upcoming CPC Many thanks

[@trucker84]

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!

[@rhino1969]

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.....

[@djharry2821]

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

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Cheers Harry and good luck with the job Sean

[@Biscuitetra]

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

[@hugebartlett1884]

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!

[@MA-qw9us]

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.

[@maddogharper01]

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.

[@mickh1187]

Many years since i had to tie a dolly this video was a great help thanks

[@taylaburgess106]

got my test tomorrow hopefully ill pass i think your videos have been such a good help time will tell ;)

[@HGVMe]

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..

[@sonictheflexhog6075]

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.

[@JN-xn1zp]

Watched this before my test this morning. I passed with 100%

[@mikestrinati8918]

Brilliant! I have my mod4 tomorrow and after watching both videos definitely feel more at ease thanks!

[@markwhittle2486]

Best video , makes preparation so much easier highly recommend

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Very kind of you

[@munkyhead66]

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.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

+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!

[@imtattoo1]

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.

[@mooe3587]

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

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Carl Diffy Come and see us when ready Carl. We have proper artics here!!!

[@royculshaw8314]

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.

[@kamranolodum]

Hi what did they ask you on your test as I have mine tomorrow and so nervous

[@royculshaw8314]

@@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 🤞

[@atiozer3681]

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

[@MrJknaggs]

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!

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

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. :-)

[@YorkieLad]

I thought most of you Paddy`s just drove without a licence , that`s how it used to be .

[@bimmerladuk7287]

Thanks E.P Training your module 4 videos have definitely help me with what the the test is going to be like

[@richpurslow3283]

Thank you for doing these videos, they are really usefull.

[@flipper2392]

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!

[@Biterphobia1]

Everyone has to start somewhere mate

[@Biterphobia1]

@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" 🙄

[@viruss89]

thank you!!youte video is pro+++...you are a good teacher and every time you show and explained very good

[@jodiecraig2034]

Cheers guys you've been a big help with all your videos, easy peasy to follow them

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Jodie craig Thanks Jodie. Glad it helped!!!!

[@mooe3587]

Many Thanks Excellent an simply put. Doing my Cpc mod 4 test on wed. Keep up the Good Work.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Carl Diffy Thanks Carl for your comments. Glad it may help. Please let us know how you get on?

[@Dazhimself]

Thanks, i got 100% thanks to this video.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Ratman rumpleshtine Yes. Did you also get any formal training?

[@analogkid1963]

roping and sheeting was hard work back in the day! no ratchet straps and curtain siders!!

[@seanpargeter25]

1963 shows you learnt the hard way

[@YorkieLad]

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 .

[@johnroll513]

Dolly Knot is the Legend

[@donaldwainwright]

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

[@mooe3587]

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.

[@gabbymagyar]

Excellent, most informative demonstration.👍 Thank you E.P. Training!

[@stephenodonnell679]

A very useful video mate thanks.

[@dwg9468]

thanks for the videos guys .im doing my cpc next week and found both your videos very informative.

[@hippyshirl]

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!

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Shirley Brown Hi Shirley. Go and get 'em. You will be fine

[@steveriley3452]

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

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Thanks Steve. Point taken!

[@denisphoenix]

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.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

+Denis Nicklen Thanks for your comments Denis.

[@stephenmcaleese7692]

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

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

stephen mcaleese Thanks Stephen. Very nice of you to say that. #feelingtheove

[@talesfromthetiller]

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 !

[@cheikhgueye6946]

Nice one

[@Sloposse]

very well explained especially the dolly knot good video

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

+Sloposse Thank you

[@glazersburn]

Thanks, it's been about 16 years since I did a dolly knot which I forgot how to do.

[@robertdenman153]

Cheers helped me get ready for test

[@sandrolonde6574]

Very good my friend Thank you 👍👍

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Thank you for you comments We hope it helps

[@addinwestaddin2159]

Great teacher

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Thanks

[@grahamduke8535]

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

[@gregzorba8911]

Well done, very useful video thanks a lot mate.

[@seanpargeter25]

Thanks

[@chrisfxwolf]

Fantastic explanation. However, the camera shots are absolutely unuseful.

[@seanpargeter25]

Yeah I know. Sorry!

[@speedydor8131]

thank you

[@blobby273]

good luck getting that dolly out after 4 hours driving through freezing fog

[@mutesasirageofrey3101]

Thanks so much sir

[@Pi7on.]

Dolly Knot starts at 10:07. Thank me later.

[@Misskimberley777]

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

[@djslimcodes2337]

so examiner may askme directly about using doly knots or I can just always use straps which are much easier?

[@fatman2570]

Only 2 choices in restraints when I started driving HGV ropes or chain and dwang

[@johnstanton8499]

Great professional video , very clear Thanks Is this the same as the Truckie /er knot?

[@bigbaggyal]

Excellent video very helpful And sometimes you sound like del boy Thank you

[@seanpargeter25]

[@devkhokhar]

thank you nicely explained

I've got my test on wednsday great video thanks i let you kow:(

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

and?................................................

[@arturtruckdriver5568]

Pass, thank you 95%:))))great

[@joshuaannabelle]

But if you let go of the rope it fills apart

[@chrisgorman2717]

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 ?

[@joekids4594]

This vid is v good keep up the good work lads I go for my test soon

[@eddherring4972]

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.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

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

[@donnagrimshaw3512]

how do you secure the bit of rope you are holding down after tying the dolly knot?

[@Bal117]

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.

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

+Bal117 Correct. My bad! You are absolutely right.

[@davewells4855]

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. ???

[@chrispenn960]

fantastic instructions all videos are well delivered. thanks so much hope i pass tomorrow

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

christopher penn Thanks very much for your kind comments. It's all about giving you guys a heads up on what it is all about. Please do let me know how you get n. You will be fine.

[@chrispenn960]

E.P. Training yeah got a 95% pass instructor stopped me before end of test as id all ready passed so thanks so much

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

christopher penn Nice!! Well done

[@pinkyman5155]

Try a double dolly twice as tight

[@yan24to]

pinkyman5155 or a triple

[@kamilrzeszotek3539]

Thanks 100% pass

[@akaweetommy9751]

Great video mate

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Thanks very much

[@akaweetommy9751]

No problem, is there any websites were i could practice the cpc case studies? i have the exam in a few days,

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

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!

[@MickeyBravo20V]

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 :)

[@seanpargeter25]

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.

[@MickeyBravo20V]

Sean Pargeter yes I know. Was just saying I didn't do this on my mod 4

[@seanpargeter25]

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.

[@TheCryptKeeper8]

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

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Thanks very much Yes cv much better now

[@sianwarwick633]

the camera isnt following the instruction closely enough in this vid

[@djslimcodes2337]

so how to secure the rest of the rope at the end because it wasn't shown?

[@seanpargeter25]

double hitch it!

[@liamtarbet2604]

What a bloody boss 💪🙌

[@danielwalker5682]

Nice.

[@jamesstickle2120]

I assume you have to tie off the end of the rope to stop it coming undone??

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Yes of course.

[@aaronditchfield781]

why didnt you use one chain as they do on tests

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

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

[@jakejohnston6354]

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.

[@cecil4485]

Jake Johnston you guys actually used ratchet straps 😂

[@stephengirling7859]

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'.

[@matthewruss]

dolly knot is not easy to remember specialy when the camera man is focused on a different part of the dam rope

[@seanpargeter25]

soz

[@4921aaronsmall]

Be grateful you penis

[@smudgealdrin1512]

These days can only use a Dolly to secure a sheet & not the load. The load must have rachets or chain binders .

[@chubbs6759]

I never had eyes on my flat trailers

Thx

[@ryanhornibrook4051]

[@gregcolechin3011]

You missed the bit on all of them, where you HAVE to twang the tensioned restraint, and confidently say "that aint going anywhere!!!"

[@Andyb2379]

Are you based over near Dorking in Surrey?

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

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

[@pony133]

very helpfull cheers

[@EPTrainingServicesLimited]

Thanks Tony

[@fatman2570]

Should be done on trailer where to anchor hooks not on actual load as it looks.

[@newton18311]

when i was a lad it use to be called a Hitch,

[@roop298]

Erm, how do you undo a dolly knot?

[@baljacques7507]

+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.

[@ronkeefe6780]

When i was roping and sheeting i was trained to throw the end of the rope over the load and then secure it rather than secure the end and then throw ALL the remaining rope over, much easier, and my dolly knot was better than yours
