J.J. Keller & Associates has released two new training programs specifically for Canadian fleet drivers and trainers.

The Safe & Smart courses provide driver and trainer programs that reflect Canada’s provincial and territorial rules, as well as the National Safety Code standards.

“Fleets are looking for training that takes drivers beyond the baseline standards of Canada’s mandatory entry-level training (MELT),” said Dustin Kufahl, vice-president of consulting and training services. “Our Canada Driver Training Program provides them with the in-depth finishing training that enhances drivers’ safety skills, so they’ll be better equipped to prevent accidents and violations.”

J.J. Keller says its Safe & Smart Canada Driver Training Program delivers a curriculum of online courses, classroom instruction, closed-course range experience and on-the-road training. According to Kufahl, the program is delivered by veteran trainers who are Canadian regulatory experts and able to speak both English and French, allowing them to train in all provinces and territories, including Quebec.

“What makes our training so unique is that it’s tailored for the specific needs of each fleet,” he added. “That means not only can we provide training that’s specific to Canada, we can also provide training that takes into account the types of vehicles drivers use, the types of customers they serve, the cargo they haul, the environment they drive in and more.”
