Courses train drivers on border crossing
CarriersEdge announced that its interactive learning approach is available in a series of new Border Crossing/C-TPAT courses for drivers. Course topics are Security and Threat Awareness, Security Inspections, and Successful Border Crossing.
Motor carriers with C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification are required to perform inspections and provide driver training. CarriersEdge Border Crossing/C-TPAT courses help ensure that drivers are prepared at the border and inspections are completed properly.
•C-TPAT/PIP Security and Threat Awareness covers five main areas where possible security issues can arise, including at the terminal, before the trip, on the road, during a stop, and during a delivery. It also covers threat awareness including such topics as how to recognize suspicious behavior, communication practices, and how to handle a hijacking.
•C-TPAT/PIP Security Inspections covers when and how to conduct a security inspection on trailers or containers and on security seals, and how these practices differ from regular pre-trip inspections.
•Successful Border Crossing covers how to minimize a driver’s chances of facing long delays at the US/Canada border by focusing on border security and customs pre-clearance programs, personal identification needs, vehicle requirements, and a variety of best practices.
CarriersEdge courses are designed to provide interactive training for drivers, regardless of their learning style, age or industry experience. This instructional approach fosters a deeper understanding of course material than video-based offerings by fully engaging drivers in the e-learning process.
