DATS Participates in UDOT's "Drive Truck Smart" Campaign
April 25, 2007
West Jordan, UT

Click this photo for additional photos of this event.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Motor Carrier Services Division continued its educational campaign today encouraging teen beginning drivers to “Drive Truck Smart” with a hands-on demonstration at Copper Hills High School in West Jordan, UT. DATS is participating in this campaign by applying vinyl wraps to several trailers and providing equipment and employees to staff events around the state. At this event, drivers’ education students were able to sit inside the cab of a semi truck surrounded by cars they couldn’t see for the “blind spots.” Demonstrations were also held related to stopping distances. This gave them an up-close look at how commercial motor vehicles behave differently than passenger vehicles.

“As part of our Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan we saw the need to help educate young drivers on ways to drive safely and courteously around commercial motor vehicles,” said Rick Clasby, Motor Carrier Services division director.

“We have received an incredible amount of support from the trucking industry as well, receiving national recognition from the American Trucking Association and other states that want to utilize our educational materials,” said Rick Clasby, Motor Carrier Services division director for UDOT. “Our goal is to reduce the number of deaths resulting from crashes with commercial trucks by 41 percent across the nation by 2008”.

Watch for news about additional events around the state.
