DDC - PTD Training

SCDTI now includes the National Safety Council's 4 hour training course on Decision Driving. We have added this course to our 15 day CDL Training for students who are looking to obtain their class A CDL License. In addition to students, motor carriers are encouraged to send their drivers to participate in this training to give them additional knowledge and tools to use on the road to be safer drivers. With the changes "Drivers and Carriers" are now facing with CSA, knowing how to be safer on the road is a proactive way to deter higher SMS scores and to help your fleet from reaching or exceeding threshold percentages.

Remedial Training

It is not uncommon for drivers, new or seasoned to need either extra training or focused training when driving habits become an issue. We offer Remedial Training to those drivers who need focused attention in only one or two areas. A carrier or driver may contact us for an evaluation. The driver will use the equipment he/she is accustomed to while working.
A 48 hour notice is required, along with an appointment with one of our trainers.

Unless an issue is extensive, most problems can be taken care of within our minumum 2 hour time allotment. For those behaviors which can not be corrected within that time, billing will be charged at consulting rates until a satisfactory level of competance is achieved. Carriers will be notified of any need which would exceed the two hour standard fee.
Some common reasons for this type of training are; taking corrective measures after an accident or improving skills such as backing, shifting and clutching plus working with safety issues and unsafe driving habits. Our instructors provide a training summary along with comments and evaluation notes.
