1439   Master Driver: Emergency Maneuvers   (DVD)

A professional driver is someone who carries a CDL in his or her wallet and makes a living drving a commercial motor vehicle. A master driver is something else. A master driver is a driver who constantly and consistently seeks to improve his or her skills. A master driver performs the job at a level above and behond everyone else. A master driver is, quite simply, the best of the best.

Emergency situations occur in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, that doesn't give drivers much time to react, much less think about the best approach to take. In this video, drivers are reminded that evasive driving skills need to be developed and continually refined, so when hazards appear, making the correct choice is second nature. Key subjects addressed include preventing emergency situations through hazard perception and pre-trip vehicle inspections; using escape routes in typical emergency situations; emergency braking; basic skid control and recovery; and minimizing damage when a collision is unavoidable.

This program covers a critical safety topic quickly and keeps your drivers' attention with dramatic footage, dynamic graphics, 3-D animation, hazard perception challenge scenarios, and "Road Wise" commentary from seasoned transport pros.
