    Yes.....watch the videos..the "owner" is paying you money to do it. We all have had to watch training videos at one point or another. Watch the vids, then tell us what you've learned, maybe try to learn us a lil somethin' lol

    Carriers are required to have a safety program for its drivers. I have one that I do online every now and then. Also get a safety dvd monthly to watch and get signed off on.
    The one I do online is boring for the most part but have also learned a few things that surprised me.

    Sounds like your employer is doing things right.
