Program Components
Many organizations mistakenly assume that van driving is no different than driving a personal car, and they expect their employees (or volunteers) to assume van-driving responsibilities without any training. The fact is that most commercial vans are very different than passenger cars. They are bigger, heavier, have larger blind spots, and require longer following and stopping distances. Training drivers to compensate for these differences can help keep them on the road and on the job. Coaching the Van Driver II-15 Passenger Version is a comprehensive training program that meets that need. Topics addressed include:
- Pre-trip inspection
- Safety belts
- Van characteristics
- Scanning
- Backing
- Cushion of safety
- Blind spots
- City, highway and rural driving
