Safe Trip Planning: Safe Practices for Over-the-Road Drivers (Microlearning)

SNP-86.2

Because most freight is intended to reach its destination by a certain date and time, proper planning is necessary. Inclement weather, traffic, road construction, fuel and food stops, and repairs can all affect how quickly a vehicle can travel its intended route. This course will help learners recognize practical and safety considerations for over-the-road travel and long-range trip planning, including scheduling, contingency and emergency planning, and arrival procedures. This microlearning course addresses a specific aspect of a broader training topic. For a more complete training experience, see DOT-4.2 Safe Trip Planning for Over the Road Drivers.
