CVD Coaching the Van Driver

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 is a comprehensive training program that meets that need. Must show valid driving license, and be 21 year of age. Course Includes classroom materials and one on one practical van driving experience.
