Developed in conjunction with both trucking companies and insurers, Carrier’s Edge provides effective, industry-approved content in a simple, flexible package. A variety of pricing options ensure that Carrier’s Edge works for companies of all sizes.

“Carrier’s Edge repesents a significant leap forward in driver training for the Canadian trucking industry”, noted Mark Murrell, Principal Consultant for Cranial Expansion. “With the combination of standardized courses and full-featured reporting tools, carriers now have the ability to train their drivers effectively without sacrificing mileage.”

With the reporting and management functions, we can easily see who’s done what, and when".
