This program was developed and certified by the National Safety Council to teach and encourage defensive driving strategies to professional truck drivers.

This free, four-hour session is scheduled and conducted at your office to provide you flexibility in meeting your safety needs.

Each session builds on knowledge learned in a previous session
and includes opportunities to practice and apply the information presented in the session. In addition the course can include a short pre- and post-test. All relevant CDL information used in these sessions relies on the U.S. Department of Transportation as the source.
