Intensive training for lorry drivers
A solid basis - our one-day intensive training for lorry drivers
Our intensive training is the ideal basic training course for all lorry drivers who want to go beyond normal handling skills and intend to make the most of the technical driving support systems of their vehicles.
In a theoretical introduction the instructor will discuss the most important aspects of driving physics with the participants, adapted to the specific types of vehicles to be used in this training (e.g. semitrailer, lorry with trailer, tanker). During the following practical exercises the participants will experience the influence of various factors on reaction and stopping distance. They will learn about their own limits as well as about the physical limits of their vehicles – and so they will be able to assess and handle difficult situations better.
One of the most important goals of our training is to raise participants’ awareness of critical situations because this will help them to spot dangers more quickly, thus being able to avoid them.
