occupational driving instructor
Occupational driving instructors teach occupational drivers how to operate their vehicles according to driving regulations. They teach their students theory and techniques on how to optimally drive and maintain their specific vehicle, observe and evaluate the students' practice. They also focus on non-driving related subjects such as customer service (in case of person transportation drivers) and safety measure regulations.
