The American Trucking Associations’ Share the Road program goes to Denver, Colorado to help teach students and teens at the Colorado Academy on how to drive safely around tractor-trailers.
Kent Durant, a professional driver for Roadway, brought his tractor-trailer to the campus to show the blind spots found around a large commercial vehicle and invited students to climb into the cab of his truck to see what a driver can and cannot see.
“My route is Wichita to Denver and back, so this is a great opportunity to talk to motorists that will soon be on the same roads I travel everyday,” said STR driver Durant. “Safe highway driving is one of my passions and I am glad to share that passion with the students here today.”
