The F -650 Thermo Pre - Melter Diesel truck is needed due to expanding operations and employees in W. <br /> Hawai'i. The Thermo Pre- Melter Diesel truck is replacing the Thermo Pre - Melter trailer unit, in part, <br /> because of the steep inclines predominant in W. Hawai'i and size of the truck — trailer combination <br /> (nearly 50' in length). The trailer unit also requires that operators obtain a modified Class A commercial <br /> drivers' license, requiring substantial training, ongoing PUC updates and renewals at the County's <br /> expense. This also limits the number of employees able to operate the trailer unit. The F -650 Thermo <br /> Pre - Melter Diesel truck requires a type IV operators' license, which is a relatively simple additional <br /> written and skills test similar to getting a drivers license. The F -650 Thermo Pre - Melter Diesel truck is <br /> safer at job sites for the public and our workers and easier to accommodate for parking and storage in lieu <br /> of the truck - trailer combination. <br />
