AMTA Professional Driver Improvement Course

 

 

 

 

Course Description

This course looks at the issues encountered by driving professionals. PDIC is designed to sharpen a driver's skill through a structured look at experiences and problem areas shared by all drivers such as bad weather, winter roads, pressures of time and distance, etc. This course focuses on drivers' expectations and analysis of dangerous situations. It assumes that the drivers know what they are doing before they take the course. PDIC is taught from a trucker's perspective.

This course is no longer valid for the 3 demerits credit program and does not qualify as the PDIC prerequisite for LCV while formal application to our revised course is being reviewed.
