DOT Cargo Securement - Online Training

DOT Cargo Securement - Online Training

This course on DOT Cargo Securement discusses the goals of the DOT’s Cargo Securement Standard, the requirements that the Standard places on motor carriers and drivers, and what drivers should do to ensure that the cargo on the truck they are driving stays put when they’re on the road. There are any number of things that can cause an accident on the highways.

In studying incidents that involve commercial vehicles, the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) determined that cargo being loaded and secured incorrectly is more likely to cause a crash than any other type of problem. So the DOT has established “cargo securement” regulations to specify how different types of cargo should be loaded and secured so that it can be transported safely. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood… and retained. These courses can be installed and run on any SCORM conformant learning management system (LMS).
