Our classroom sessions are informative, interesting, simple to follow, effective and productive.

Driver Affirmation:

I will be a Safe & Professional Driver! I will be properly rested. I will perform complete pre-trips with brake checks. I will use 3-point entrances and exits. I will run legal speeds slower than the flow of traffic. I will maintain a minimum of 8-12 seconds following distance. I will make sure I am visually scanning with my mirrors adjusted. I will always get out and look before I back up. I will always block with my trailer when I am making a right-hand turn. And, by always doing these things, I will prevent most accidents from happening!

Why? Because..."My Safety is Intentional...Not Accidental"!!!
