Podcasts about driver training

Transport Risk and Accident Specialist Stan Bezuidenhout discusses with Lester Kiewit whether there’s a legal maximum age for driving in South Africa. While there’s no set age limit, Bezuidenhout argues that the real issue isn’t age but ability. He shares his concerns about the current license renewal process, calling it little more than an expensive card print, and explains that drivers should consider stopping when they no longer feel safe or confident - whether that’s due to struggling with speed limits, heavy traffic, or lane changes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

Episode #074:In this episode our duo gets down to business right off the bat! What is happening to our jokesters? They have once again shown that in addition to handing out laughter and information they can really do a great interview.They are talking with Steve Strong, the V.P. of Admissions at the Southwest Truck Driver Training School. Of course, they did begin with a bit of laughter, we have come to expect that of them. Steve hits right back with the puns in his answers and it is such an easy interview that you will be drawn right in!Our hosts came prepared for the interview with questions that will help those that may be interested in becoming a truck driver. The conversation goes from challenges in career schools and how twenty or so years ago this type of school was getting a bad reputation. This was despite how two- and four-year colleges did not teach things like truck driving, electrical, heating and air conditioning, and such. Steve goes on to explain how these schools have changed over the years and have a much-needed place in our world.These types of schools fill a gap in training for those that do not want a career that was being offered in a two- or four-year college. And a career that can be taught quickly has advantages when the economy goes up and down.From there they go on to discuss the distinct types of trucking schools. Yes, there are several types, some are company owned, hiring for their company. Others are independent like Southwest; they train independently of any trucking company. So, drivers can choose the company they want to apply with.They go on to discuss what S.W.T.D.T. has to offer. The types of packages, the costs, hours, their incredible staff, and programs too. So, the bottom line is, this is such an informative, yet lively conversation. Everyone, whether you are looking to go to school to be a driver or not, will find it fun and informative. Because it will help guide you no matter what type of future you are looking for, Steve gives you general guidance to look for in your future. A good, friendly, honest company.Oh, and if you have the chance, you should see that lobby in the Phoenix campus along with the friendly atmosphere.

In our latest episode of Inside the Triangle, learn what Driver Training looks like from all angles – the trainer, the trainee, and the “behind the scenes”. Elaine Schlick from our Training Department, along with Professional Drivers David Naster and Todd Ouverson, join host Darin Ladlie to talk about our Training Program. Elaine gives a behind the scenes look at the program as she explains how she pairs trainers with trainees and discusses the requirements of becoming a Driver Trainer. David talks about his experience going through the Training Program as someone who was fresh out of driving school and is now a successful Professional Driver. Todd gives excellent advice on how to achieve your career goals (Scorecards, Diver of the Month, Driver of the Year, and Grand Champion Driver of the year – just to name a few) while being a Driver Trainer and teaching the next generation of Professional Drivers.

It has been said that “In school, you're taught a lesson, and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches the lesson.” Our guest today has faced his share of tests and has masters-level lessons to share. There were numerous sleepless nights when as a business owner in this industry, he had over a million dollars worth of debt on trucks he couldn't move. Then there were sleepless nights of a different kind when battling an aggressive form of cancer. These are the kind of tests that can either make or break you. They made Mike Kolody, and we're thrilled to have him on the show today. Mike is an expert driver and trainer who's seen it all on the open road. He's learned what makes the business go, to the tune of six figures. But, he's also learned how to make those figures work for him, to the tune of ten toes in the sand. He's a top-shelf businessman who's also been accused of being a beach bum - an accusation he and his family don't dispute. On today's episode of the Six-Figure Trucker, you'll hear Mike's story and walk away with a truckload of help and inspiration for the road ahead.Show NotesBeach Bummin'!
