CMV Web-Based Driving Tips

CMV Web-Based Driving Tips

Quote:
Even the most well-trained, safety-conscious Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver is at risk of engaging in driving behaviors that could lead to a crash on today’s crowded highways. Weather conditions or road conditions change and suddenly “driving too fast for conditions” becomes a risk factor. Failing to look or looking and not seeing, impaired performance because of fatigue, inattention or daydreaming or an unexpected external distraction can all lead to a truck crash.

This Web site was developed to raise the consciousness of CMV drivers about common driving errors and to provide valuable driving tips through an easily accessible tool, the Internet. Fleet safety managers can also use this Web site for their driver training programs. These tips offer preventive measures that CMV drivers can take to help avoid crashes.

FMCSA just brought this site online for safety and awareness. Whether your a new driver or a old timer, refreshers to safety is key for everyone. There are short video clips to different scenarios. I'm not posting this to insult anyone's intelligence but to promote safety.

great tips

I watched all the videos. Some real eye openers. I haven't started my driving yet. I have secured a job. Luckily I have experience with haz/mat in a straight truck, and a clean mvr, as well as no criminal history. I want to go into trucking with safety as the major aspect of every decision I make. Unfortuneatly, I worked for a company that only cared about speed. I know what I don't want.
Thanks for the access to the website. I truly appreciate learning good habits right off the bat.
