Rollover Prevention Training

Around 30% of truck accidents involve a rollover. They often seriously injure or kill the driver, plus cause extensive damage to freight, the truck and public property.

This course explains truck and trailer stability, including what causes rollovers, common scenarios that all truck drivers will experience, and how to avoid them.

Why do a rollover prevention course online?

Many truck drivers have rolled a truck or trailer because rollover training is not a requirement when becoming a truck driver. This course ensures that drivers are aware of what causes rollovers and how to avoid them without having to push the boundaries in the truck.
