What are refresher driving lessons?

Truck driver refresher training in Alberta is a program designed to help drivers regain the confidence and skills needed to restart their careers as professional drivers. This training includes courses like the Class 1 Mandatory Entry-Level Training (M.E.L.T), Air Brake Course, Log Books – Hours of Service, and Road Management. 

The Driver Refresher course at First Mile Transport Training, for example, focuses on improving skills such as shifting, backing, and other road skills necessary for professional truck drivers. Typically, these refresher courses are one week long, consisting of 40 hours of training.

Are refresher driving lessons worth It?

Why do you need to take refresher driving courses?

  1. Maintain up-to-date knowledge: Refresher courses help commercial truck drivers stay current with industry regulations and best practices, ensuring they are well-equipped to perform their job safely and efficiently.
  2. Address unsafe habits: Follow-up training allows for the identification and correction of unsafe driving behaviors that may have developed over time.
  3. Reduce risk of accidents: Routine follow-up driver training can help reduce the number of employee-involved crashes, lowering risks for company drivers and other road users.
  4. Compliance with regulations: The Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT) regulations establish minimum training requirements for drivers seeking a CDL or certain endorsements [2]. Although not specific to Alberta, such regulations may apply and necessitate refresher training.
  5. Improve overall safety: By continuously improving skills and knowledge, commercial truck drivers contribute to a safer work environment and transportation industry.
