The purpose of this course is to fine-tune a driver’s skills. PDIC is a course taught from the perspective of the professional truck driver, not that of a car driver or teacher. Developed by the AMTA, this course consists of nine modules, covering topics such as:
- Attitude, image, and public relations
- Fatigue, alertness, and driver condition
- Vehicle condition
- Air brakes
- Professional defensive driving
- Passing, following, and stopping
- Determining preventability
- Adverse conditions
- Backing
This course challenges the preconceived notions that experienced drivers already possess.
COMPANY BENEFITS of having your drivers take the PDIC course include:
- Reduced Operating Costs
- Reduced Collisions
- Reduced Sick Leave, Insurance and Other Benefit Payments Related to Traffic Collisions.
- Reduced vehicle abuse and maintenance costs
- Increased customer satisfaction with on-time deliveries and undamaged product
