CarriersEdge and Techni-Com Inc. have formed a partnership that will see the ‘Practical’ series of driver handbooks added to the CarriersEdge driver development system online. Practical Vehicle Inspection is the first program to be developed for the web, ready this month.

Run by Rolf VanderZwaag, technical advisor to the Ontario Trucking Association, Techni-Com’s handbooks and training materials also include Practical Cargo Securement and Practical Air Brakes, currently sold through the provincial trucking associations and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.

CarriersEdge will develop online training programs based on the Practical series and offer them to its fleet, school, and owner-operator customers. Techni-Com customers will be able to purchase the programs directly, through existing channels. CarriersEdge will also re-sell the Practical handbooks.

CarriersEdge also offers online testing, training and reporting tools, along with business analysis and consulting services.
