NDSC Fleet Essentials Online Training

Introducing Fleet Essentials – addressing a critical gap in the transportation industry. Did you know that 15.5 million professional fleet drivers in the U.S. lack formal training, leading to a significant number of occupational incidents and fatalities? In 2022 alone, over 2,000 deaths were reported, constituting 38% of work-related fatalities. Our solution? A comprehensive online driver safety training program with six courses, including vehicle-specific training on topics like backing, dynamics, and safety. Fleet Essentials aims to enhance driver skills, reduce incidents, and even offers an NSC Safe Vehicle Operator Designation for those completing a Defensive Driving Course and the Fleet Essentials program. Don’t let your fleet be at risk – prioritize safety with Fleet Essentials.

“More than 2,000 people die every year because of workplace transportation incidents. That is almost 40% of the total occupational fatalities each year.”

“I lost my only brother in a fatal car crash. It changed the dynamic of my family forever and made me an only child. If I could have my way, not another family would have to experience that type of loss.”
