Professional Driver Improvement Course (PDIC)

 

The purpose of this course is to fine-tune a driver’s skills.  PDIC is a course taught from the perspective of the professional truck driver, not the perspective of a car driver or teacher.  This course is not for new drivers or inexperienced drivers; it is for professional, experienced truck drivers.  It is recommended that participants have at least one year professional truck driving experience before enrolling in this course.

Developed by the AMTA, this course consists of nine modules, covering topics such as:

  • Attitude, image, and public relations
  • Fatigue, alertness, and driver condition
  • Vehicle condition
  • Air brakes
  • Professional defensive driving
  • Passing, following, and stopping
  • Determining preventability
  • Adverse conditions
  • Backing

This course challenges the preconceived notions that experienced drivers already possess.  It is a full-day course held at the MTA office.
