CPD has a program to provide businesses with a review and assessment of the risks around their vehicle management programs.
CPD’s risk management model is based on building a detailed understanding of the various risks facing your drivers. Understanding the risks is critical to be able to effectively address them.
CPD’s Driver Safety Management Audit provides this needed understanding and is a powerful first step in creating a sustainable safe driving culture.
CPD works with your team to develop a customized training program built around your unique situation and incorporates your driving patterns, your driver demographics and business model.
• Do your drivers work in emergency vehicles (EVO), delivery vehicles or in a technical support capacity?
• Are they called upon to find addresses, answer dispatch, work in confined areas, and park in difficult or congested areas like main streets?
• Does your company have a history of collisions?
Once we complete an analysis of the job requirements and traveling environment of your drivers, we can customize a training methodology that will deliver the desired outcome for your company.
CPD has a corporate library of Professional Defensive Driver Training modules that can be taken individually or incorporated into a program to address the issues you face.

Our objective at Canadian Pro Drivers is to help to ensure that drivers arrive home safely at the end of each day.
Please share this safety tip with your drivers and fleets.
As summer holidays are upon us, many of us will be heading out on vacation and our vehicles will be packed with tents, BBQ’s, bicycles, coolers etc. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that all items are properly secured in/on the vehicles and/or trailers.
As professional drivers, we must be aware that others on the roads may not have fully complied with load securement rules. To avoid an unfortunate incident on your travels here are some guidelines to help you do your part of road safety during summer travel:
• Add extra following distance so that you have enough time to react in the event that something becomes loose with their load
• Avoid driving in their blind spot as they may have a limited view with a packed vehicle blocking their mirrors and windows
• If you are going to pass a vehicle with a suspect load, try to overtake that vehicle with as much space as possible since you never know when something may fly off the vehicle
• Give loaded vehicles extra space as they may make wide turns or back up
At Canadian Pro Drivers, we continue to focus on Driving Your Business Safely.
Stay safe and drive safely.
