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. Here is a safety tip for you to share with your drivers and fleets.
As the weather starts to warm up, drivers are going to encounter small and large animals crossing our paths at inopportune times. In urban areas, drivers need to check for animals under parked vehicles (grounding) and scan neighbouring driveways and lawns for our furry friends. In rural areas, drivers also need to scan tree lines and fields for possible large animals that could jump out in front of vehicles. Animals are more active at dusk and dawn and if you are driving during these times of day, slow down as speed only adds to more damage and/or injury. It is important to be aware of your surroundings, continuous scan your mirrors and look ahead 20-25 seconds while driving.
April is usually the month where drivers and fleet companies take part in the tiring changing ritual. Keep in mind that with the fluctuating temperatures, changing weather patterns and the region you are in, it may be a good idea to postpone switching your tires. You may need to adjust your driving as it does take longer to stop in warmer weather with winter tires on the vehicle.
At Canadian Pro Drivers, we continue to focus on Driving Your Business Safely.
As southern Ontario saw lots of ice pellets, freezing rain and rain over the weekend, make sure you clear all the ice from your vehicle including the roof. When that ice flies off in traffic, it could cause damage to people or other vehicles. Drive safely.
