“1 HOUR Simulator Training = 4 HOURS Behind-The-Wheel (BTW) Training”

– Schneider National

Trucking industry leader Schneider National has championed the use of simulators for almost 15 years. According to Don Osterberg, Senior Vice President – Safety & Security for Schneider, the company’s use of simulators since 2005 has helped reduce the carrier’s crash rates significantly. When compared with traditional training methods such as classroom work or in-cab instruction, simulator training methods reduced accidents by 32%.

Schneider believes that one hour of simulator time is equal to four hours of BTW training. When the extreme fuel costs for on-the-road training are taken into consideration, the result is a significant savings. And as fuel costs continue to increase, the positive impact to your bottom-line savings in fuel expenses alone will make your transition to simulator training well worth it.

Proficiency vs Hours

FMSCA has announced that driver proficiency will be given increased priority in CDL testing, as drivers will be expected to demonstrate a higher level of testable skills than ever before, along with superior command behind the wheel. Driving simulators can efficiently measure proficiency at the level expected by the FMSCA, and can progressively increase difficulty, track progress, and monitor results. 

 As the FMSCA commits to higher levels of safety and proficiency standards, drivers will invest more time and effort to ensure success. As drivers strive to meet the demand of new industry standards, they will very likely increase their commitment to voluntary simulator training, studying, and BTW training.
