Courses to Help Reduce Turnover & Operations Costs
Pre-Hire Aptitude
Using MNTC's state-of-the-art driving simulator, we'll spend 1-2 hours with each applicant in scenario-based assessments to measure safety knowledge, spatial awareness, fuel usage, shifting (manual), and problem-solving.
While we don't make recommendations, you'll have results to inform your hiring!
Fuel Management
Using MNTC's Virage simulator, your crew members can practice driving skills to reduce fuel consumption. This is applicable to busses, waste management vehicles, and trucks. Proper fuel management typically results in a 40% improvement.
