Skid Control & Recovery Driver Training Program

Dramatic training shows drivers how to anticipate and recover from skids.

If a skid isn't handled properly, the costs can be extensive: damage to the truck, cargo, or equipment ... loss of load, road cleanup, and even injury to the driver and other pedestrians.

That's why it's so important for your drivers to understand how skids happen and what they can do to control and recover from them!

This ready-to-deliver training focuses on these fundamentals and tackles a variety of critical issues:

• Causes of Skids - Explains common skid causes like speeding, over braking, over steering, and over accelerating
• Tractor and Trailer, Front-Wheel and All-Wheel Skids - Discusses what causes each, how to recognize if one is underway, and response and recovery techniques every driver should know
• Skid Control and Recovery - Reviews techniques for braking, shifting, and corrective steering
• ABS Dynamics - How to handle skids when tractors and/or trailers have ABS
• Driving Techniques - Gives advice for taking special precautions in bad weather situations like cold weather and rain

Available on DVD and VHS, the program's 27-minute video features dramatic demonstrations from the skid pad, state-of-the-art animation, and real-world perspective from seasoned trucking pros.

A variety of extras are included to help you deliver thorough skid control and recovery training.
