- Regular refresher training, commmunication with employees and evaluation ensures ongoing competence and compliance with policy.
- Documented training and evaluation provides a foundation for next steps with problem drivers.
- Most people never attend driving school when they first learn to drive.
- Your employees may not have experience driving in the environments in which you operate.
- Your employees may have no experience and be unqualified to operate vehicles of the size or type that your company uses.
- Due diligence demands that employees are trained, evaluated and documented as COMPETENT to operate the assigned vehicle at the outset of their employment.

- Specialty training such as Hazard Avoidance, Winter Driving and Trailer Towing fills in gaps in skills and knowledge, and ensures competence.
