Coverage details the requirements issued by FMCSA in regulation 49CFR parts 380 and 391: Topics include basic and advanced operations, double and triple combination units, nondriving activities, safe operating practices and more. This book serves as both a training guide and reference for drivers, managers, dispatchers, maintenance personnel and trainers alike.
“LCV Regulations Training” also provides an understanding of cargo, facility and driver security. The instructor’s guide will assist those responsible for training on how to best deliver available LCV material, which includes an end-of-course test and printable certificate of completion. “Cargo theft is at an all-time high, with estimates running into the tens of billions of dollars every year,” says Dave Daniels, author. ” ‘LCV Regulations Training’ addresses some common-sense methodologies as well as various new technologies in order to help reduce exposure to cargo loss.”
