a way to better prepare
its employees for these
situations by allowing
them to drive on icy roads,
plow snow in blizzard-like
conditions and participate in
police pursuits, and never
leave the training room!
Carl Gruber, Safety/Risk Manager, Sauk County

"It's very realistic...It's virtually the same thing. They get engrossed in the training and it's virtually their own truck."
Dean Newell, Vice President of Safety, Maverick Transportation
"Simulation has helped us from a profitability stand point. We've been able to compress the training to half the time for our new drivers and use a simulator in place of a live class which allows us to train more efficiently."
Mark Sion, Regional Safety Manager, Swift Transportation
"The PatrolSim is a valuable tool in training law enforcement officers in emergency vehicle operation! We use it all the time and just don’t know how we got along with out it and would be lost if we were to loose it."
