Professional truck drivers will learn safer behaviors and habits behind the wheel, resulting in reduced collisions and violations for your organization.
This course reviews key characteristics of professional fleet drivers and how employees can represent your company well while operating a fleet vehicle
The Transportation Safety Training Pathway provides a role-based framework for developing the safety knowledge and competencies required across transportation, fleet, logistics, and related operational environments.
The pathway recognizes that transportation safety extends beyond driver training. Effective transportation safety requires coordinated competencies among drivers, vehicle and equipment operators, dispatch and logistics personnel, maintenance employees, supervisors, fleet managers, and safety professionals.
Foundational content establishes expectations around workplace and transportation safety, hazard recognition, emergency procedures, personal protective equipment, material handling, and safe interaction with vehicles and mobile equipment.
Role-specific learning then addresses areas such as:
Driver and vehicle safety
Defensive driving
DOT and applicable regulatory requirements
Vehicle inspection and maintenance
Loading and unloading
Cargo and load securement
Powered industrial trucks and material-handling equipment
Dock and yard safety
Backing and pedestrian hazards
Hours-of-service and fatigue awareness
Hazardous materials awareness, where applicable
Incident and collision prevention
Emergency response
For supervisors, fleet managers, and safety professionals, the pathway expands to include risk identification, regulatory compliance, incident analysis, coaching, performance management, and prevention of serious injuries and fatalities.
The pathway therefore connects the safety of the driver, vehicle, facility, loading environment, and transportation operation, providing a more comprehensive approach than traditional driver-focused training alone.
