Driver Orientation
Your company should have an orientation program which all new drivers are required to complete.
The orientation program consists of comprehensive classroom training that will cover a variety of subjects. Among the topics covered in driver orientation are:
- established driving policies and procedures,
- regulatory compliance,
- vehicle maintenance and inspections,
- accident reporting procedures,
- defensive driving procedures, and
- safe driving tips.
After successfully completing the classroom portion of the orientation, all new drivers should be assigned to a driver trainer. The purpose is to evaluate the new employee's overall driving skills and techniques, and to apply what has been learned in classroom to an actual job situation.
This time should also be used to familiarize the new driver with paperwork procedures relating to vehicle maintenance and inspections and to answer any questions or concerns that were not addressed in the classroom training.
