Howdy folks! It's National Truck Driver Appreciation Week! #NTDAW2023 Did you know that all commercial drivers undergo rigorous training programs that get increasingly difficult depending on the size and complexity of the vehicle and its contents? These include: written exams covering operation, traffic laws, defensive driving techniques, challenging skills tests, and medical requirements. Safety is job one and truck drivers are usually the best trained and safest vehicle operators on the road! Safety doesn’t end with becoming a qualified driver. Drivers engage in ongoing training and education to stay updated on best practices and new regulations (see our posts on Safety as a Service, a ClearMarketPlace Partner). Before hitting the road, drivers conduct thorough pre-trip inspections to ensure their vehicles are in optimal working condition to prevent any safety issues or breakdowns. There are so many things commercial drivers do that deserve our gratitude, it’s impossible to list them all. Please take a minute out of your day and let a driver near you know they are appreciated!

Driver Tip: Always perform a pre-trip inspection before hitting the road. At TTDS, we teach our students the importance of safety and thoroughness in every aspect of truck driving. A pre-trip inspection ensures that your vehicle is in good working condition and helps prevent accidents on the road. This critical step involves checking the brakes, tires, lights, and other essential parts of the truck. Our comprehensive training program includes detailed lessons on how to conduct a proper pre-trip inspection. By mastering this skill, you'll not only be complying with legal requirements but also ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Enroll in our classes today and learn from experienced instructors who will guide you through every step of becoming a professional truck driver. #TruckDrivingTips #SafetyFirst #PreTripInspection

It's that time of year again! The temperatures are dropping and it's time to talk about techniques on how to stay safe in various weather conditions As an operator, you should ensure your driver's are up to date with all latest guidance and advise on how to remain safe in all weather conditions. We highly recommend that if you do not have a winter driving policy in place, it's good practice to implement one. Preventative measures should be put into place such as regular driver training and additional vehicle checks. We can help with policy writing or we can also look to include this as a toolbox talk in any group training sessions we are providing to you, to ensure your driver's are fully informed.

📅 It’s the CVSA Operation Safe Driver Week! Besides the obvious 🚩 red flags of speeding and dangerous driving, it is easy to become a distracted driver. Distracted🥸 driving involves one or more of the following components: 👀 Visual Distraction Looking away from the road at 55 miles per hour for as little as three seconds will result in the vehicle traveling 250 feet, almost the length of a football🏈 field. 🤳 Manual Distraction Removing one or both hands from the steering wheel to perform non-driving🍔 tasks, such as dialing a cell phone or adjusting the radio. 🤔💬 Cognitive Distraction The most dangerous form of driver distraction, involves any activity that causes the driver to take their mind off the task of driving. Daydreaming🚣 is a common form of cognitive distraction. 🙂 #KCTruckandEquipment #ClassPays #HeavyDutyTruck 🏋️#Class8Truck #KansasCityTrucks #TruckDealer #TruckDrivers #KeepAmericaMoving 🇺🇸 #KCTrucks 🚛 #SemiTrucks #TruckLife #OwnerOperators #Truckers 😎 #IndependentTruckers #WeLoveOurTruckers #DOTInspections #IndependentOperators #CVSA2024 #CVSASafeDriverWeek #SafetyFirst #AlwaysWorkSafe #EducationisKey #OperationSafeDriverWeek 🛣
