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.
Drivers will appreciate the programs non-lecture, participant-intensive educational approach, and instructors will appreciate the programs flexible and easy-to-use format. Coaching The® Van Driver 3 can be presented in one session or shorter, multiple sessions.
