Defensive Driving Course

Statistically, commercial truck drivers are among the safest drivers on the road. But as a truck driver you will be sharing the road with unsafe and nervous drivers. This means you will have to drive defensively both for your own safety and the safety of others.

Truck drivers who get into accidents are a liability to their company. If you have chosen truck driving for a career then it is important to make yourself as valuable to your company as possible. And part of this means gaining the defensive driving skills that you will need to stay safe on the road.
