Corporate driving proficiency training course for light truck drivers
Van-Driving Essentials
Your organisation uses utility vehicles (freight transport, <3.5T). This means investing in in-depth training in vehicle control and road traffic safety for your van drivers is the right decision. It helps prevent serious accidents and personal suffering. It also reduces your transport-related overhead costs.
Driving vans requires a sense of responsibility. Traffic is complex and customer-oriented companies strive to respect delivery agreements. This can lead to risky behaviour, such as driving at excessive speed, ignoring the rules of the road and loss of control of the vehicle caused by improper loading. VIAS Institute studies also show that van drivers are more prone to driving under the influence of drink or drugs and using a smartphone without a hands-free kit. The Vehicle Safety for Vans corporate training course gives you the opportunity to decisively address these risks. Choose this course and provide your professional drivers with the right training to drive light trucks and utility vans safely and with greater awareness. The course works according to a three-step plan: raising and increasing awareness, practical training in skid and brake control with vans and evaluation of your drivers’ driving proficiency during a concluding Commentary Drive on the public road.
The Vehicle Safety for Vans training course is independent of the other JESCO vehicle safety training courses and can be adapted to your company and its specific commercial activities. We will be glad to answer your questions in person on 03/866.16.66 or you can request a customised proposal right now.
Vehicle Safety for Vans is also a valuable extension to the JESCO comprehensive Corporate Driving Safety programme. Find out everything you need to know about this corporate road safety training programme.
