Vertical Alliance Group Launches Web-based Training Program for Truckers
VAG Safety Training Offers Affordable, Customizable Programs
for Commercial Drivers
DALLAS – October 21, 2007 – Vertical Alliance Group Inc., online publisher of trucking recruiting sites like BubbaJunk.com and FullFleet.com, has launched www.VAGST.com, a new Web-based safety training program for commercial truck drivers.
VAG Safety Training provides ongoing Web-based training that is customizable, affordable and easily accessible by drivers. VAGST.com currently offers programs for all commercial drivers, including school bus drivers.
Large trucks are more likely to be involved in fatal multiple-vehicle crashes than passenger vehicles, and truck-related accidents resulted in more than 5,000 deaths in 2005 according to the Truck Safety Coalition. Offering comprehensive training programs like those available through VAGST.com allows trucking companies to keep drivers informed of the most recent safety issues affecting them on the job, said Jay Wommack, founder, president and CEO of Vertical Alliance Group.
"VAGST.com offers trucking companies the unique opportunity to provide up-to-date safety training that is accessible to drivers anytime, from anywhere," Wommack said. "This flexibility is key for the trucking industry, as in-person training programs or seminars can be difficult to coordinate due to the mobility of drivers. VAGST.com provides high-quality training, on-the-go."
Produced under the guidance of top industry safety experts, the training videos available online at VAGST.com cover issues that apply to virtually any driver. Additionally, Vertical Alliance Group will continue to add new training modules each month to keep drivers updated of the most current safety issues. Examples of current training modules include:
- Adverse Weather
- Distracted Driver
- Loading and Unloading
- Railroad Crossings
- Tailgating
In addition to these broad topics, safety training series' can be customized to meet the specific needs of any trucking company. VAGST.com will either deploy video modules provided by trucking companies at no additional cost, or Vertical Alliance Group can create custom videos and presentations for an individual company for a service charge determined based on location and complexity.
To enroll in VAG Safety Training or to request a free online demonstration, please contact Vertical Alliance Group at 866-663-3909, extension 103. More information is also available online at www.VAGST.com.
