Sept. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- SilkWeb recently began offering online Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Driver and Department of Transportation (DOT) training so that your company’s drivers can meet FMCSA requirements. Our training is competitively priced and can be hosted on our LMS or your company’s LMS. Every eLearning course contains audio, is interactive, and includes a scored-post assessment. All of our courses are developed in-house by our professional instructional designers, subject matter experts, and skilled course writers.

All of SilkWeb’s eLearning courses can be customized to your organization. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be right for your drivers. Our custom solutions are competitively priced and ensure that your drivers receive the training they need, at a price within your budget.

CMV Driver Essentials
This comprehensive program was designed for CMV drivers with less than one year experience. Course content covers CMV driver qualification, personal wellness, and whistleblower protection. When this course is combined with CMV Drivers: Hours of Service the FMCSA rule (Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level CMV Operators) can be met.

CMV Driver: Hours of Service
The DOT requires training so that CMV drivers understand  the rules and exemptions relating to hours of service, the correct records and forms that need to be completed and how to complete those forms accurately. This course clearly explains DOT requirements under the Hours of Service rule and provides working examples along with a scored assessment.

Drug and Alcohol Awareness
Drug and alcohol abuse has a negative effect on the way people do their jobs. This course was designed to provide CMV drivers with knowledge of the effects of drugs and alcohol on health, safety, and the work environment. The resultant problems of substance abuse and substance dependency in the U.S. transportation industry are discussed along with an examination of the U.S. laws that relate to drug and alcohol testing of all transportation employees.

HAZMAT General Awareness
The DOT requires training for anyone who handles hazardous materials including individuals who ship or receive hazardous materials, prepare hazardous materials for transportation, mark and label containers, complete shipping documents, select packaging and load or unload hazardous materials. This course is designed to provide basic information about hazardous materials and Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) for CMV drivers.
