摘要

The document contains a unit outline curriculum for the training of drivers new to triple-trailer operation. The curriculum is for driver trainees who already possess a commercial drivers license (CDL) class A license or who have accumulated a minimum of six months of verifiable commercial driving experience in a tractor-trailer having a minimum gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 pounds. Therefore, the curriculum assumes a basic knowledge of commercial vehicle safe driving practices, and traditional driver training subjects. The curriculum is divided into five sections: orientation; basic operation; safe operating practices; advanced operations; and non-driving activities.
