In this course, students will begin the “road” portion of their training. In a real time environment, students will be introduced to driving skills such as how to identify road/traffic hazards, how to avoid hazards and to take evasive action when needed. Students will continue to drive on local highways and identify the importance of vehicle size, road signs, traffic controls, road characteristics, uphill and downhill driving, curves, and construction zones. Students will also explore “Life Skills Lessons” with an emphasis on human resources and business communication. They will also revisit the hours of service and trip planning from previously learned material in the classroom. Students will also explore “Life Skills Lessons” with an emphasis on conflict and resolution.
