New Traffic Driver Training Courses
In addition to the over 160 courses we currently offer, we will be rolling out new driver training courses that let companies like yours to reinforce and solidify ongoing safety efforts, no matter your driver type. You’ll be able to discover the latest courses perfect for those looking for traffic driver training for businesses, including:
“Sedans – Operating in Heavy Traffic/Communication”
Created for those driving passenger cars, this lesson covers driving a vehicle in heavy traffic. It also explains communication with other vehicles on the roadway, especially in heavy traffic. Such knowledge is critical when drivers make turns, cross intersections and merge while in heavy traffic.
“Road Signs”
Geared toward all drivers in a variety of vehicles, whether a passenger car or tractor trailer, this lesson covers the many road signs in use today. It may seem like common sense, but even professionals practice the basics.
Information detailed in the course includes how different signs have various meanings, how to read them and how to use the information they provide. Lessons like these will only strengthen the trust you have in your drivers behind the wheel, knowing they’re best equipped to handle such commonly encountered yet potentially confusing road signs.
“Vehicle Inspections – Medium Duty/Straight Truck”
Even though a medium-duty truck isn’t a tractor-trailer, the same record keeping rules apply to daily vehicle inspection reports, or DVIRs. The course teaches a driver about the process of inspecting a medium duty/straight truck, including how to inspect all external components of the vehicle and conduct in-cab tests that must be completed as part of any inspection.
Also included is information on how to record the inspection and what to do if defects are discovered, ensuring your drivers remain safe and prepared no matter the situation they’re encountering.
The Importance of Driver Training Frequency
When considering how consequential actions like behind the wheel crashes or fatal roadway incidents have played out in your line of work, it’s a good reminder of the power of proactivity, extending to traffic driver training.
It’s important to enact driver training solutions aimed at preventing crashes rather than reactionary training after a crash or incident has occurred. Did you know that providing precautionary driver training focused on problem areas can better help you retain those who work for you and that drivers don’t need negative violations to go through training?
Traffic driver training ensures your drivers remain well-equipped to be behind the wheel. Whether you want them to remain sharp on certain subjects, feel that monthly, quarterly or annual trainings are needed or believe that overall driving trends require certain learnings, the options are endless.
Concepts like frequency of driver training matter, with our statistics showing that the number of driver training courses taken per driver per year has a direct, positive impact on safe behaviors. Eight to ten courses taken through a driver training solution annually can considerably improve driver safety and assure increased knowledge retentiveness.
