What does a “compliant” maintenance program consist of? Is having “perfect” equipment without any deficiencies during a scheduled inspection considered a “red flag?” Can you answer those questions? Together, we can!

This webinar will cover:

• Maintenance program requirements outlined in T-49 CFR and T-13 CCR.
• Differences between the inspection requirements in T-49 CFR and T-13 CCR.
• How to document that the person performing the inspections is qualified.

This fast-paced webinar is for the mechanic, maintenance supervisor, and safety manager with maintenance program responsibility during a compliance inspection. We’ll demonstrate key points to cover during your equipment inspections and the required contents of a compliant maintenance file. We will also address items that will cause you to fail an inspection so you can be prepared to pass your inspections with flying colors!

Imagine one of your drivers is involved in a major collision involving a family in a minivan. As the Safety Director, you have become the Claim Administrator and must work with management, law enforcement, insurance companies, attorneys, and eventually a jury in court.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to confidently answer the following:

• Do you know what to do to properly collect the necessary documentation?
• What is spoliation?
• How do you defend yourself against the trend in “nuclear verdicts?”
• What can you expect to experience from other parties during the process?
• Are you prepared for court?

We’ll look at some of the steps you need to take to collect records and document the incident post-accident from the perspectives of the accident investigator, insurance adjuster, and transportation attorney.

This is not an accident investigation/reconstruction class, but a class that provides the safety manager insight into how to systematically work through the aftermath of a collision crisis.

Defensive driving begins with the principle that you can avoid being the cause of an accident and can avoid being involved in an accident caused by another driver’s actions. Defensive driving involves intentionally driving in such a way as to reduce the risk of an accident.

This program is designed to help drivers develop their defensive driving skills. Specifically, it offers up best practices on how to anticipate the potential for danger and avoid it.

After viewing the Defensive Driving for CMV Drivers video, learners will be able to:

• Explain how being prepared impacts defensive driving
• Identify ways to communicate with, and receive signals from, other drivers
• Demonstrate how to look for hazards by scanning the road ahead and using their mirrors
• Recognize how to effectively manage speed and space

Bad weather, heavy traffic, and equipment problems can combine together to make for a pretty bad day for professional drivers. But it’s hard to imagine a day at work being any worse than being involved in an accident.

Drivers who have shared this experience will tell you being involved in an accident can feel surreal. In the immediate aftermath it’s hard for drivers to think clearly—hard to know what to do, and hard to remember CMV driver requirements. That’s why it’s important for drivers to have a solid understanding of the procedures they need to follow if they’re ever involved in an accident.

This course is designed to help you understand what to do after being involved in (or witnessing) an accident. Specifically, it covers the procedures you should follow in order to safely and legally deal with the situation in a short period of time.

Virtually everyone who drives a vehicle has experienced a close call; that moment when a split-second decision, a skillful reaction, or simple good luck prevents a disaster from occurring.

Close calls are often caused by road conditions, equipment failure, or human error. Professional drivers must prepare themselves for these types of situations by developing their decision making and defensive driving skills.

This course is designed to help you understand the techniques that will help you avoid an accident or incident while operating a CMV. Specifically, it covers how to recognize danger, react appropriately, and recover after performing an emergency maneuver, protecting yourself and those around you.

According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis, crashes involving large trucks resulted in over 5,000 deaths and over 150,000 injuries in 2019. Luckily, there are several things you can do to reduce your risk, and focusing on your personal health is a great place to start! This training will remind you to take care of yourself and ensure you take steps to be healthy while on the road.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, professional truck drivers sustain more injuries keeping them off the job for longer periods of time than workers in any other industry. Ironically, many of those injuries occur during non-driving activities. In fact, most driver injuries are caused by unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, errors in judgment, or environmental dangers.

This course is designed to help you avoid preventable injuries while on the job by recognizing and avoiding risks and adopting safe work practices.

Successful commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers must do all they can to avoid accidents, roadside breakdowns, and lost road time due to poor vehicle condition. Conducting vehicle inspections helps drivers keep their vehicles in good working order. Routine vehicle inspections enable drivers to discover unsafe conditions before they cause accidents or crashes, find mechanical problems before they lead to costly breakdowns on the road, prevent being placed out of service during a roadside inspection, and avoid being subject to infractions and fines that affect productivity and profits.

Even though the reasons for conducting vehicle inspections are compelling, chances are that some of you newer drivers (and, unfortunately, even seasoned drivers) are not conducting the kind of inspections you should be. It may be because you don’t have an inspection process down pat yet, or it may be because you've gotten complacent. Whatever the reason, when you neglect your responsibility to conduct thorough vehicle inspections, it’s both costly and risky.

This course is designed to help you understand how to avoid an accident or incident involving your tractor-trailer and a fixed object. Specifically, it covers how to avoid contacting various obstructions while performing basic driving maneuvers.

The Defensive Driving for Light & Medium Duty Vehicles course covers:

• Defensive driving preparation
• Hazard perception
• The defensive driving attitude
• Other techniques that will help you stay safe on the roadways.

After completing this course, drivers will be able to:

• Recognize and reduce risk before they step into the vehicle by using trip planning and by conducting a pre-trip vehicle inspection.
• Describe how to see and anticipate not only what is happening around them, but what might happen by being aware of their surroundings, perceiving what's going on around them, and then managing their speed and space accordingly.
• Identify the dangers of distracted driving.
• Indicate how to modify their driving habits to safely drive in hazardous weather conditions.
