When To Take iDrive Fleet Training Services

New hires and young drivers need an orientation and training before they drive for work. New hires are at a higher risk for a collision, they may use a different type of vehicle or route and come across unfamiliar hazards.
All company drivers should take refresher training programs every 2 to 3 years. New rules of the road, vehicle technology, and routes can present new driving challenges. Driving skills can also decline as complacency and bad habits creep in.

iDrive Fleet Training Services also offers one hour safety talks on subjects such as Winter Driving, Driver Fatigue and Driver Attitude. For more information on these programs please contact us.
