Safe Vehicle Operations

As you know, driving trucks can put you in many dangerous situations. More truck drivers die on the job than anyone in any other occupation. Approximately 15.5 million commercial vehicles operate on U.S. roadways. Roughly 9% of all U.S. traffic-related fatalities involve commercial vehicles. 80% of those accidents are the fault of the non-commercial driver. This course will provide you with information about three factors that have the potential to cause accidents that can result in major property loss, injury and death. These factors are speeding, following too closely and executing turns incorrectly.
