Intermodal transportation provider installs driver training, maintenance program
Online training for about 120 technicians at Interstate Distributor is used as an advancement program.
CarriersEdge, a Canada-based provider of online safety and compliance training tools for the North American transportation industry, announced that Interstate Distributor, Tacoma, Wash., is using its platform to provide customized maintenance training. Driver and maintenance training needs at the company are being managed on the CarriersEdge system, and an integration with the carrier’s human resources operation is used to distribute training materials and company policies and track compliance.
“We moved our entire maintenance training program to the CarriersEdge platform and used their expertise to review and adjust those materials, so they are presented in a learning format designed for adults,” says Scott Manthey CDS, vice president of safety and compliance at Interstate Distributor. “We also integrated CarriersEdge with our human resources system, so we can use it to deliver new policies and company updates and track that training is being completed. CarriersEdge has become a huge part of our organization because it is convenient, user-friendly and a product that fits many of our needs.”
