A commercial trucking simulator to improve driver training and reduce costs
Standardize training for both new and experienced drivers, correct habits, and cut fuel and operational costs - all with a single commercial trucking simulator.
Top three challenges in commercial truck training - and how to solve them
Problem: Reducing preventable crashes and incidents
Current driver training programs often fail to meet the demands of today’s transportation fleets. Many lack standardized curricula that can adapt to individual driver needs in real time. Traditional training also provides limited hands-on practice, especially in complex maneuvers and high-risk scenarios. This results in underprepared drivers, increased accident rates, and higher operational costs.
Solution: A customizable all-in-one driving simulator
The TranSim™ commercial truck driving simulator allows fleets to standardize and modernize driver training. Choose from pre-built training modules or create custom scenarios tailored to your drivers’ performance gaps. Adapt training in real time to focus on specific skills, from compliance to emergency maneuvers. TranSim™ provides a comprehensive, flexible, and data-driven training solution for modern fleets.
Problem: Increasing operational costs
Fuel, insurance, maintenance, and replacement costs continue to rise. Accidents only add to these expenses - and poor driving is a leading cause. In fact, 63% of large truck fatal crashes involve collisions with another vehicle, person, animal, or object.
Solution: Reduce operational costs with the TranSim™ Trucking Simulator
Cut fuel and vehicle wear by training drivers virtually. Simulators allow for realistic, high-frequency practice in a safe environment, reducing crash risk and improving driver efficiency. This also frees up fleet vehicles for operations instead of training, maximizing uptime and lowering total cost of ownership.
Problem: Gaining and retaining drivers
Driver retention is one of the industry’s biggest challenges. Many drivers report dissatisfaction with the quality of their company’s training - only 28.5% say they’re happy with it - prompting them to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
Solution: Focus on building driver skills
TranSim™ enables drivers to train safely in realistic conditions, helping them build confidence before they get behind the wheel. Enhanced simulator training demonstrates a company’s commitment to safety and professional development - two key factors in attracting and retaining quality drivers.
