Course description
Truck & Trailer Advantage™
The course balances classroom learning, teach-by-touch and behind-the-wheel exercises conducted by expert safety instructors to deliver an impactful training day. Even if drivers, based on the type of equipment your company hauls, are not required to hold a commercial driver’s license, the DOT (Department of Transportation) safety components included in this course provide essential, proven safety procedures that all drivers should be aware of and able to implement.
