If you operate a commercial vehicle, manage a fleet, or supervise drivers, your responsibility goes beyond just getting from point A to B. Commercial drivers are held to higher legal standards, and understanding the risks and legal implications of your profession is crucial.

That’s why the Standard of Care (SOC) driver training is coming to Moncton, NB, on May 8, 2025, from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the Amsterdam Inn & Suites (2550 Mountain Road, Moncton, NB E1G 1B4). This 4-hour presentation is designed to help you navigate the legal, civil, and safety responsibilities of professional driving.

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for:

  • Drivers operating heavy commercial vehicles

  • Supervisors overseeing commercial drivers

  • Fleet managers ensuring road safety compliance

  • Risk managers and safety supervisors looking to reduce liability

There are no prerequisites, making it accessible to all professionals in the field.



Why This Training Matters

Driving isn’t just about operating a vehicle; it’s about understanding the legal and safety responsibilities that come with it. Courts have ruled that professional drivers must meet a greater standard of care, and organizations must take reasonable steps to prevent harm.

Under Section 217.1 of the Criminal Code, corporations, managers, and supervisors can face criminal charges if they fail to uphold safety standards. This training will equip you with the knowledge to meet your legal obligations and protect yourself and your company from potential liability.



What You’ll Learn

During this session, you’ll gain critical insights into:

  • Professionalism and Attitude – How mindset affects driving safety

  • High-Risk Behaviors – Addressing speeding, seat belt use, and distractions

  • The Art vs. Act of Driving – Understanding visual search patterns

  • Vehicle Dynamics – Managing kinetic energy, braking, steering, and rollover risks

  • Tire & Road Surface Considerations – The impact of road conditions on vehicle control

  • Incident Case Studies – Learning from real-life accidents and court rulings

This course debunks driving myths and provides the latest insights into driver education, making it an invaluable resource for all commercial drivers and fleet managers.


What Makes This Training Unique?

Unlike basic defensive driving courses, Standard of Care dives deep into the legal, civil, and corporate obligations of commercial drivers. It’s not just about driving skills—it’s about understanding how driver behavior, company policies, and legal responsibilities intersect.

The course also provides up-to-date case studies on recent litigation and court rulings that have impacted commercial drivers and businesses.

Regular and ongoing training isn’t just recommended—it’s a legal requirement under Canada’s Occupational Health and Safety laws.
