If you’ve added new drivers to your fleet or plan to, they’ll need to undergo entry-level driver training to ensure they’re ready to be on the road. Entry-level driver training (ELDT) is necessary for drivers to obtain class A and class B CDLs to operate semis and other large trucks.
The L3Harris Driver Training Services & Simulators offer perfect ways to train your new and experienced fleet drivers. With hands-on experience that empowers students through safe learning, you can better equip drivers to handle the situations they’ll encounter while driving.
How Simulators Can Help You Better Train Your Workforce
When it comes to entry-level driver training, there’s no better preparation than in a driving simulator. Some companies offer virtual ELDT, but online driver training lacks supervision, feedback, and growth opportunities. If your drivers do their ELDT at home, how can you be sure they’ll be safe on the road?
L3Harris simulators allow drivers to practice and test their expertise, something you can’t get in a book or on a computer. Students learn and then put their knowledge to the test. We build our simulators to look and feel like the real thing so that when it’s time to drive, the drivers who have passed our course feel confident and prepared.
Driving in a simulator allows your drivers to react to simulated threats and situations in real time. Later, they can review the simulation to assess their progress and set goals for improvement.
Simulators Allow for Standardization
A fundamental disadvantage of in-person driver training is the unpredictability and the inability to standardize. Holding a driver training course in the summer might mean that drivers don’t get the chance to practice driving in cold weather conditions. And, of course, each on-road driving experience is never the same twice, so not all drivers will come away with the same level of understanding.
A driving simulator fixes all of these problems. Students can all undergo the same simulation, and they can review and compare their responses. They can repeat the simulation and fix their mistakes. When drivers are at the wheel in a simulator, they can practice driving in the rain, snow, or heavy traffic.
Simulators Protect Students
Simulators provide a risk-free learning environment for those learning to drive and ensure that those drivers will not harm other motorists. A crash is not fatal in a simulator, and a mistake is not life-altering. Students who learn in simulators are much safer than those who don’t have the opportunity to do so.
