Canada Driver Training: Trip Planning
Course Length: 20 Minutes
Overview: The idea behind trip planning is to design the most effective, efficient, safe, and legal route between two points.
A well-thought-out trip plan can save time and money for the driver and their motor carrier. A good plan can also mean a safe trip for the driver and the cargo they are hauling. If a driver has a solid plan before hitting the road, they are better able to devote all their attention to driving.
