Regardless of how knowledgeable drivers are about topics such as water/cement ratios, slump, mixer operation, etc., their skills are useless if they can't get the product to and from the job site safely, or they fail to follow safe operating procedures at the work site. That's why a training program has been designed specifically for this industry. Unlike generic driver safety programs, Coaching the Ready-Mixed Concrete Truck Driver™ has been developed with input from professionals within the industry itself. The program is based on discussion-style learning rather than lecture, and actively involves participants throughout.
