About the Program
Both technical and soft skills play a vital role for transport management success. They help the driver to excel in the workplace. Positive attitudes also help the driver to become more effective.
Vehicles are thoroughly tested and inspected by the manufacturer before selling it to the purchaser who then puts them to use. During its use, the vehicle is subjected to wear and tear.
Proper management of the vehicle protects it and the components from undue wear, resulting in its protection from failures.
Frequent inspection, regular maintenance and management are therefore very necessary for a motor vehicle to remain in a good running condition.
There is also a fair deal of paperwork involved in transport management. Drivers are expected to fill out forms and file reports accurately.
This three-day intensive training course will help participants develop their transport management skills, work ethics, report writing skills and defensive driving skills.
