Fleet & Driver Safety Training | Non-CDL Fleet Compliance

What This Package Covers

Fleet operations are a major workers' comp and liability exposure for any employer running vehicles. Crashes are a leading cause of work-related fatalities. OSHA holds employers accountable for worker safety on the road under the General Duty Clause, and documented driver training reduces both crash frequency and post-crash litigation exposure. State distracted-driving laws (now in 48 states), insurance underwriter requirements, and customer-facing driver standards all push fleet employers toward documented training programs.

This package covers the six driver-safety topics that anchor any defensible non-CDL fleet program. Buying these courses individually at retail would cost $150 to $180 per employee. This package delivers all six for $105 to $149 per employee depending on your fleet size.

Designed for

Trucking companies (non-CDL), delivery fleets, service vehicle operators, and in-house fleet operations at employers with drivers. Particularly valuable for service-vehicle, sales-fleet, and delivery-van operators below the CDL threshold who need documented driver safety training for insurance, customer audits, and post-crash litigation defense.

Courses Included

Three of the six courses (Defensive Driving, Distracted Driving, Fatigue Management) are available in English, Spanish, and multi-language closed captions. Three courses (Hazardous Weather, Vehicle Inspection, DOT Hazmat) are English only.

What These Courses Address

Fleet safety training is governed by a mix of OSHA general duty, FMCSA, DOT hazmat, and state-law requirements. The OSHA General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1)) holds employers accountable for worker safety on the road regardless of CDL status. Distracted-driving laws apply to commercial drivers under FMCSA 392.80-82 and to all drivers in 48 states. DOT hazmat awareness training is required under 49 CFR 172.704 for any employee who handles, ships, or transports hazardous materials in commerce, with recertification required every three years. Pre-trip vehicle inspection requirements apply under 49 CFR 396.13 where applicable.

Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for new CDL holders and CDL credential courses are not part of this catalog. ELDT requires registration with the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, which RTS does not hold. Buyers needing ELDT or CDL credentials should consult an FMCSA-registered training provider directly.

Common Questions

Is this training acceptable for CDL drivers?

The defensive driving, distracted driving, hazardous weather, fatigue management, and DOT hazmat courses cover topics relevant to all drivers regardless of CDL status. However, this bundle is not ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) for new CDL holders, and it does not deliver CDL credentials. CDL drivers can use this training as supplemental safety education; ELDT for CDL credentialing must come from an FMCSA-registered training provider.

Does the DOT hazmat course satisfy 49 CFR 172.704 requirements?

Yes, at the awareness and general-awareness levels required by 49 CFR 172.704. The standard requires general awareness, function-specific, safety, and security awareness training for any employee who handles, ships, or transports hazardous materials in commerce. This course covers the general awareness and safety components. Function-specific training (specific procedures for the employer's actual hazmat operations) is the employer's responsibility to deliver on top of this awareness training.

Why are three courses English only?

Three of the six courses (Hazardous Weather, Vehicle Inspection, DOT Hazmat) are produced by specialty providers in the catalog who do not offer Spanish narration for these specific titles. The three most-broadly-applicable driver topics (Defensive Driving, Distracted Driving, Fatigue Management) are bilingual. We disclose this honestly so Spanish-speaking drivers and their managers can plan accordingly.

How often is fleet driver safety training typically required?

OSHA does not specify a universal cadence, but several drivers: DOT hazmat training requires recertification every 3 years; insurance underwriters and customer audit packets often require annual driver safety refresher training; post-crash retraining is a defensive practice for any employer trying to avoid the same crash a second time. Many fleet operators run annual refresher training as part of their broader safety program.

Can I assign different courses to different drivers?

Yes. Your employer dashboard lets you assign individual courses to specific drivers. A common pattern: defensive driving and distracted driving for all drivers; DOT hazmat for drivers handling regulated materials; vehicle inspection for delivery and service-vehicle drivers; hazardous weather and fatigue management for long-haul or weather-exposed routes.
