Driving in rural and city areas each present their own set of specific hazards. City Driving and Rural Driving training programs can help drivers prepare for the challenges they'll face in these unique driving environments.

City Driving provides strategies to help drivers successfully navigate hazard-packed city environments. Driving in the city requires an understanding of some of the toughest parts of driving a tractor-trailer: traffic, turning, negotiating intersections, speed & space management, maneuvering in tight spaces, and cargo securement. This program covers:

• The importance of thorough route planning (taking into consideration known traffic bottlenecks, problematic traffic times and customer delivery times) and the importance vehicle inspections.
• Defensive driving in a hazard-rich environment
• Safe vehicle maneuvers in high traffic areas
• Specific driving techniques for safer city driving
• And more

Rural Driving helps drivers recognize and deal with the unique set of hazards they normally don't contend with when driving on interstate highways. The program covers:

• Sharing the road with school buses, farm equipment, and horse-driven buggies
• Tips for handling high-risk situations
• Specific driving strategies for safer rural driving
• Negotiating passing lanes and passing
• How to avoid falling into routine or pattern driving
• And more

Both programs cover critical safety topics in just 18 minutes and keep your drivers' attention with dramatic footage, dynamic graphics, 3-D animation, a hazard perception challenge scenario, and "Road Wise" commentary from seasoned transport pros.

• (1) Closed-captioned DVD - (with extra bonus features) the programs combine engaging video and editing technology with expertise from industry professionals at all levels.
