New First Gear™ Driver Training Now Open

First Gear

Several weeks ago, we informed our members that we would be making available to you the First Gear™ commercial vehicle driver online training curriculum at no cost. That day has arrived! Watch for an email from the email account admin@firstgear.server.tracorp.com titled, “New ICSA Account Created.”  The email contains the link to the training program, your administrator username and password, and a link you can provide your employees so that they can register themselves. If you do not receive the email, please check your junk or spam folder and make sure to mark an email from Tracorp as "not spam or junk."

First Gear brings valuable training to carriers to coach drivers on safety tips and tactics. You may assign drivers the entire curriculum or customize assignments to those topics where you believe drivers need additional training. Even seasoned drivers can become complacent over time, putting themselves, the motoring public and your company at greater risk. 

This program is designed for everyone who uses it to learn something new or to refresh their knowledge even if they have been behind the wheel a while. Most importantly, you can easily access the training from a mobile phone or tablet – no computer necessary!

If you can’t find the email and wish to access First Gear™, please email us at contact@safecarriers.org, provide a name and phone number where we can reach you and we will follow up with you.
