Overview

DDC-PTD has always been the most comprehensive training course available for the professional truck driver, but with the revised format it’s now the most flexible, too! The new format allows the trainer to customize the length and topics of the driver course for each audience. Our 3 day DDC-PTD instructor course will train you to be a thorough and versatile trainer. Who should attend? Safety managers, fleet managers, and driving school instructors that work with drivers of articulated vehicles should all attend this course.

DDC-PTD addresses all the issues important to the driver on-the-road. It was developed using input from drivers, fleet safety managers, educators and insurance professionals nationwide. With insurance rates for the trucking industry skyrocketing, your organization can reduce costs and save lives by including DDC-PTD in your driver training program.

Registration fee of the DDC-PTD Instructor Course includes an instructor manual, Teaching DDC candidate-instructor materials, instructor certification form, course guide, and 1 year subscriptions to Traffic Safety and Driver Trainer.

  • How to get students involved in the course
  • How to use course materials
