I think it comes down to a cover-your-ass situation. If you get hurt, hurt someone, or beak something, you can claim you weren't "properly trained" and sue. By requiring certification, their ass is covered.

I recently had to rent a small boom truck and was told that they couldn't rent it unless I had a CDL (I do). It was on a two ton truck frame which I know doesn't require a CDL. It just made me realize that I actually don't have certification for some of the equipment I operate.

How do you certify your operators; do you use third party training or do you do it in house? A lot of rental companies are requiring proof of certification before renting equipment and I was wondereing if this affected any of you.
