DT Driver Training had a record number of companies sign up for safety training in June.
Toll Group, Freight Lines, Mackleys, Tomoana Warehousing, Waitomo Group, Allied Pickfords, Heavy Metal Haulage, Yelavich Transport and others joined its online Fleet Driver Plan.
It teaches drivers safe driving skills and refreshes their knowledge of the road code.
David Costigan, Allied Pickfords’ training manager says the company uses DT Driver Training to keep its staff up to date on New Zealand road rules, making them better company drivers.
“By having an up-to-date and live system I can see exactly what level of study Allied Pickford’s staff are at, and along with the ease and the ability to customise to your own requirements it fits our training needs. Staff also find it user-friendly.”
DT Driver Training director Darren Cottingham says driving is the biggest risk facing almost every company with vehicles.
“The cost of an accident is usually much more than the cost of getting training to mitigate the risk.”
The Fleet Driver Plan contains modules for drivers of cars, heavy vehicles, motorbikes, buses and specialist vehicles.
If practical training is required, DT Driver Training works with other training providers to deliver those components.
