Non-CDL Driver Training: Trip Planning
Course Length: 20 minutes
Intended Audience: New hire, inexperienced CMV drivers
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 mean a savings of time and money for drivers and motor carriers. A good plan can also mean a safe trip for the driver and the cargo. If a driver has a solid plan before hitting the road, they’re better able to devote all of their attention to driving.
Non-CDL Driver Training: Trip Planning is designed to help CMV drivers learn the five basic steps of trip planning.
Objectives:
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Describe the paperwork required for you (the driver), your cargo, and your vehicle
- Discuss considerations when selecting your route, along with how to read a map and use a global positioning system (GPS)
