Helping drivers be better drivers.
Drivers benefit from continuous reminders on safe driving practices, not to mention there are FMCSA requirements for commercial drivers – defensive driving, hours of service, hazardous materials handling and cargo securement. Additionally, drivers must have training for vehicle inspection, maintenance, orientation (for new drivers), accident remediation and recurring safety training.
Why not make it easy for drivers to stay compliant, safe AND have the flexibility to take courses from anywhere, despite their current route or location?
Through the Safety as a Service and ClearConnect Solutions’ Marketplace Partnership, we’ve combined driver safety training, ClearTrac compliance and ClearTelematics risk management services. Fleet and safety managers can seamlessly maintain driver safety and FMCSA compliance while preventing risk.
Safety training, compliance, risk management – we got you covered.
In today’s post, we’re exploring some of the barriers that drivers, fleet managers and safety managers face when it comes to driver safety training: time, costs, compliance and accessibility.
Taking a Preventative Approach to Safety Training
With almost 95 percent of the nation’s transportation deaths occurring on its streets, roads, and highways (transportation.gov), drivers along with fleet and safety managers play a crucial role in preventing risk for drivers. Accident prevention and risky driving behavior IS preventable and can be curbed with proper safety training.
Safety as a Service – Driver Safety Training
Spending valuable time in classrooms, locating a class in a driver’s area AND getting to a class is expensive, time consuming and unproductive.
Safety as a Service, a ClearConnect Solutions Marketplace Partner, is an online education service offering over 120 safety training courses for commercial drivers. Courses cover:
- driver orientation
- hazmat safety and regulations
- remediation
- recurring training
The virtual program helps existing and new drivers stay FMCSA compliant while making the driver training process more efficient, convenient and cost-effective.
Safety managers can assign specific courses based on MVR reporting available through ClearTrac’s compliance platform. Be alerted in real-time when your drivers receive violations, and then assign a remedial course through the Safety as a Service training program.
Give drivers the skills they need to keep our roads safe.
What’s a Typical Safety Training Scenario?
Step 1 – A safety or fleet manager assigns a safety course from the online Safety as a Service training library based on the driver’s requirements (orientation, remediation or recurring).
Step 2 – Track the driver’s learning progress.
Step 3 – When the course is finished, add a Completion Certificate to the driver file.
Compliance – check. Training – check. Safer drivers – check.
You can even train drivers while they’re loading – GAME CHANGER. Drivers can easily take a safety training course at their next stop. The program is designed so drivers can tailor courses to their existing schedule and lifestyle. Convenient, virtual, adaptable, customizable AND minimizes driver onboarding costs with virtual orientation training.

“Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death and injury in the workplace and the cost of a single accident could easily exceed $1.4 million. A defensive driver safety program can reduce risk and keep people safer on the road.” (nsc.org)
