The DDC-Professional Truck Driver (PTD) course is flexible and interactive, with curriculum and materials that conform to all current U.S. Department of Transportation standards based on the Large Truck Crash Causation Study announced by the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This course provides the over-the-road driver with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to commit to safety and excellence. It also addresses the unique everyday challenges of driving a large vehicle, and offers practical information for avoiding violations and citations. This course can be taught in as little as four hours or expanded to eight hours with supplemental modules. To meet the fleet requirements for different industries, the program can be easily modified to address any company’s specific equipment, driver issues and policies.
