Driving Schools & Educators

Integrate Teens & Trucks into your outreach efforts and driving programs

Most driver’s education classes generally offer very little information specifically about how to drive around commercial vehicles. It’s no wonder teens driving today may not know about the NO Zone -- the large “blind spots” a commercial vehicle has -- or how trucks and buses require a greater distance to stop than a passenger car. These are just a few examples. To help teens truly recognize the differences we need to educate them.

The Teens & Trucks program is specifically designed to easily integrate into existing driver's education programs. They can be taught by any instructor, and can also be used as a stand-alone program for teens in high schools, parent-teacher organizations, community groups or other interested organizations.

The Teens & Trucks Program:

  • Includes instructor's manual, student workbook, and video.
  • Is provided free of charge through a federally-funded grant by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
  • Is available to order online. To receive materials, please register online.

The Defeating Distracted Driving commercial driver curriculum includes:

  • 15-minute DVD
  • PowerPoint presentation
  • Samples of model company policies governing distracted driving
  • Is available to order online. To receive materials, please register online.
