Advanced Driver Training

Dec 20, 2013



Teaching accident avoidance and safety techniques is proven to save lives. Our Advanced driver training programs and upgrading use a combination of in-class, hands-on and on-screen training, working in tandem, to teach accident avoidance and eliminate bad habits such as palming the wheel or cutting short a pre-trip inspection. These training programs are available to a wide range of industries. We aim to provide our customers with the best drivers possible.
 
Classroom Training allows participants to be kept current on Highway Traffic Act Regulations pertaining to commercial driving.  The Classroom Performance System is used not only to encourage participation, but also as a means of electronically recording quiz results.
 
Our state-of-the-art Driver Simulator's main objective is to elevate the employee's level of anticipating hazards and collision avoidance techniques. Other objectives include enhancing decision making skills, including: full brake failure, front  tire blow-out at highway speeds or driving in inclement weather. The simulator is also used in Remedial Driver Training
