Many Drivers entering the transportation industry have little or no experience in the training of others. When a person tasked with performing the significant task of training another individual and does not receive training to meet objectives and connect with a new driver, training time is increased and potential outcomes can vary greatly. This often results in a lack of understanding critical skills leading to vehicle accidents, roll-overs and incidents. Further issues arise from poor training in previous environments, resulting in the need for training.
