"As a safety consultant working with several transportation companies, I’ve noticed that the hardest thing for companies thinking about investing in SAFE•Sim® is trying to see the future — to see that they're going to save money in the future. It may not seem like it immediately, but their accident rates will go down and their insurance costs will probably go down and their savings will go up.

Accidents have been drastically reduced since we started using SAFE•Sim as part of Prestige Gunite’s driver training program a couple years ago — enough that we reduced our insurance premiums by over $1 million last year."

"SAFE•Sim is so detailed and realistic that it's easy for drivers to directly apply what they've learned when they're behind the wheel in an actual cab. The steering wheel is very sensitive; and our drivers say that the program captures the handling, motion and weight of a real vehicle.

SAFE•Sim conditions drivers to be alert all of the time, because it includes unexpected details like pedestrians stepping into traffic or animals running out in the road, everyday hazards that drivers could encounter and should be prepared for. After just 35-40 minutes behind the wheel, drivers who'd had a mishap got a very clear idea not only what they'd been doing wrong, but how to avoid making the mistakes that could lead to another one.

SAFE•Sim has paid for itself at our company, over and over. It's excellent for helping drivers practice techniques like backing, without tying up an actual cab or supervisor.

Our cargo is people, so it's vital that we not only hire the best drivers, but that they perform at the top of their game every time, every trip. If you sit behind the SAFE•Sim wheel for any length of time, it can help you. The program is terrific at catching even the smallest things a driver is doing wrong ... clearly pointing out the minor bad habits that could lead to major mishaps. SAFE•Sim also helps drivers learn the precautions they need to take to avoid making those mistakes again in the future."

“SAFE•Sim is a good way to raise the awareness of my drivers. The more times they use SAFE•Sim, the more aware of their driving habits they become, and both our new and experienced drivers benefit from it. And since I own the software, I can use it in my company as often as I need to, which makes it very useful for downtime and refresher training.

I've tried much more elaborate simulators that weren't as realistic as this. They could measure reaction time but didn't breakdown all the different elements of the driving experience for review the way that SAFE•Sim does.”

“SAFE•Sim provides a level of technology unheard of at such a price. Some features, such as the ability to look out the right and left hand windows don’t even appear on the other simulators I have used, which cost ten times more. A particularly unique feature of this product is the ability to tie it to the teaching console, which allows the instructor to project turns, backs, and other maneuvers onto the screen at the front on the classroom. Overall, I think we have a real winner on our hands here.”

“SAFE•Sim is the most realistic driver’s safety training program that I have seen anyone come up with. It allows drivers to expect the unexpected, when most of such situations are taken for granted. After using SAFE•Sim, and experiencing the different subjects jumping out in front of him on the simulator, one driver told me that a similar situation happened to him on the road the very next day. Thankfully, because of his SAFE•Sim training, he was able to pay attention better. To me, if SAFE•Sim can help one driver in just one of those situations, then it’s worth it. I loved SAFE•Sim so much, I bought 2, and my drivers use them daily.”

“SAFE•Sim is a great teaching aid for my students. It saves money, fuel, tires and maintenance and allows all my students to get behind the wheel with very little equipment needed. SAFE•Sim is especially good for my student’s eye-hand coordination, which was formerly a real problem, and I really like the replay mechanism with the 11 different camera angles. I also believe SAFE•Sim will help teach my students backing maneuvers. Overall, SAFE•Sim is as close as you’re going to get to real road driving without actually being in the truck. My students are crazy about it.”

“Our students love SAFE•Sim! It is the best thing the school has done for them as far as providing them with a better understanding of basic tractor-trailer operations prior to them physically getting in an actual truck. We can show left and right hand turning which better prepares our students when they drive truck. And, the backing component aids tremendously in helping them understand the backward movements of a tractor-trailer. Overall, SAFE•Sim is like real road driving and is helpful in sharpening driver skills prior to real world experience.”
