Program trains drivers in skill of backing

Backing, a new training program from J J Keller & Associates Inc, gives both new and experienced truck drivers the “how-to's” of backing. Drivers will learn how to perform both common and less-common backing/steering maneuvers they must know, including straight-line, blind-side, and alley dock backing; and jackknife and parallel parking.

At the core of the program is a video featuring 3-D animation, as well as live-action demonstrations. The program also includes an instructor's guide, 10 driver handbooks, a training log, and two awareness posters. This training program is available for $179 by phoning 800-327-6868. Callers should reference Action Code 1406 when ordering.
