Energy On The Offensive #058 - CDL Manual = Plaintiff’s Secret Weapon

Good Morning,

I want to begin by remembering September 11th. On this day, we honor the thousands of lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who rose to the challenge in the face of tragedy. It is a reminder of both America’s fragility and its strength.

We also remember Charlie Kirk, whose voice called American’s to stand boldly for their faith, their freedom, and their country. Though gone too soon, his influence will continue to shape those he inspired, and his legacy will not be forgotten.

Today’s topic:

Plaintiff attorneys love one thing more than anything else: the CDL Manual.

They use it to “anchor” cases.
They don’t even need to prove the accident was your fault. They just need your driver on record saying he doesn’t know the rule in the CDL Manual.

That’s why fleets who bake the CDL Manual into their training stop this tactic in its tracks.
The more familiar your drivers are with the CDL manual, the less likely it is to be used against them. It also helps prevent the plaintiff attorney from building a case around negligent training/supervision.

Simple move, huge protection.

Want to see how fleets are building this into their system?
Hit reply with “CDL” and I’ll send you the details.

Stay safe,
Raymond
