Anti-Jackknife & Accident Avoidance

This course teaches proper truck driving skills in emergency situations. Although reacting safely to emergencies cannot be practiced in real-life, our 2.8 mile multi-million dollar Driving Course is specifically designed to reproduce real-life emergency scenarios for behind-the-wheel practice. Our highly experienced and professional Truck Driver Instructors teach emergency reaction techniques in a highly structured and safe environment. Our specially modified tractor-trailers are equipped with skid inducers, allowing drivers to repeatedly practice controlling a big rig through up to six different types of jackknife.
