Train your drivers. Lower your liability.

OSHA holds employers accountable for worker safety on the road under the General Duty Clause. Defensive driving training is the foundational requirement for any fleet program. Crashes are a leading cause of work-related fatalities.

Texting while driving is prohibited for commercial drivers under FMCSA rules and for all drivers in 48 states. Employers are increasingly held liable for crashes involving employees on calls or texting. Documented training reduces both crashes and liability exposure.

Drivers of commercial motor vehicles must conduct daily pre-trip inspections. For non-CDL fleets, vehicle inspection training reduces breakdown costs, accident liability, and DOT-trigger violations when light-duty fleets cross into commercial weight classes.

Any employee who handles, ships, or transports hazardous materials in commerce must complete DOT hazmat training within 90 days of hire and recertify every 3 years. This applies to many service and delivery operations that do not think of themselves as hazmat carriers.

Driver fatigue is a contributing factor in a significant share of fleet crashes. Employers running non-CDL fleets are not bound by FMCSA Hours-of-Service rules but remain accountable under the General Duty Clause for managing fatigue exposure.

Snow, ice, fog, heavy rain, and high winds account for a meaningful share of fleet crashes. Documented hazardous-weather driving training is a defensive measure for both insurance underwriting and post-crash litigation.
