The National Safety Council has released the newest edition of its Professional Truck Driver Program. The innovative curriculum equips professional drivers with the knowledge and defensive driving strategies they need to stay collision, crash, incident and citation-free. The program includes everything an organization needs to meet OSHA guidelines, reduce motor vehicle crashes and protect human and financial resources. The step-by-step instruction provides instructors with the flexibility to teach the course in either 3 or 4 hours, or select topics relevant to corporate training goals.

“Each year nearly 4,000 people are killed in a crash involving a large truck,” said Shay Gallagher, vice president and general manager of the National Safety Council. “We need to do everything we can to equip professional truck drivers with the knowledge and defensive driving strategies they need to stay safe on our roadways.”
