NEW! Coaching the Refuse Truck Driver II : In recent years, equipment in the waste management industry has changed with a greater variety of residential trucks, automation and recycling trucks being used. This presents new safety challenges. Since the equipment is large and heavy, the risk of serious injury and property damage is significant. The cost to private refuse companies and state/local public works departments is too huge to ignore. These new vehicles pose numerous challenges. This includes perception problems because some trucks can be driven from both the left and right side, dumping at landfills increases the risk of tipping, conditions at incinerators can create personal safety risks, changes in weight can cause stopping distance problems, and the vehicle’s high center of gravity can cause potential rollover problems.

NEW! IGNITION: With vehicle crashes now the number one cause of death among people under 25, teaching new drivers how to drive safely is a number one priority.

At the same time, driving conditions have changed radically. Factors such as cell phones and distracted driving, drowsy driving, road rage, aggressive driving, excessive traffic and road system infrastructure overload, use of alcohol and drugs, number of passengers in the car, peer pressure and numerous other issues combine to make today's driving experience especially challenging for the new driver, and especially dangerous.

COMMAND Personalized Vehicle Control: With the proliferation of different vehicle types now offered by automakers (sedans, SUV’s, minivans, pickups, convertibles), most families and corporations have multiple vehicle types that are used by their drivers. But up until now, driver training companies have not focused on the substantial differences between popular vehicle types. As a result, most drivers do not understand the impact of their vehicle's design on its safe driving capability, and are not trained to handle everyday driving situations or emergencies that can occur.
