This section is designed to provide situations in which the driver’s skill, judgment, and knowledge of the limitations of the emergency vehicle, are required for effective maneuvering.
The Trailer Towing Operations module will help verify that personnel are proficient in the skills of safely hooking, pulling and backing a trailer of the size and weight that their department/agency needs require.
