The DRIVE Professional Driver Course, Driver Readiness, Instruction, Verification & Education (DRIVE), is a comprehensive training and certification pathway designed for Transportation Network Company (TNC) drivers and independent IRS-1099 contractors. It is built for drivers who use a digital platform or app to connect with passengers and who rely on their personal or company-owned vehicles to provide pre-arranged transportation services. Many well-known companies fall under the TNC classification, including Uber, Lyft, and Via. DRIVE gives drivers the skills, safety knowledge, and professional standards needed to deliver high-quality, reliable service in today’s evolving transportation industry.
Created to raise the industry standard for safety, customer care and service professionalism, DRIVE equips TNC and 1099 drivers with the knowledge, skills, and verified competency required to deliver safe, consistent, and customer-centered transportation services. DRIVE prepares drivers not just to operate safely, but to serve passengers with professionalism, confidence, and consistency.
Whether drivers serve general passengers, seniors, persons with disabilities, or medically vulnerable riders, DRIVE provides the training foundation to support excellence on every trip.
The DRIVE Professional Driver Course aims to:
- Elevate the professionalism of 1099 drivers
- Build driver confidence and competence
- Strengthen your company’s reputation for quality
- Increase passenger safety and comfort
- Reduce accidents, incidents, complaints, and liability
- Support workforce stability and retention
- Meet contract requirements and industry standards
- Uphold the law and standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regarding compliance and inclusive service
Each component of DRIVE builds on the next, creating a well-rounded driver who understands safety, customer service, compliance, and the responsibilities of working as an independent contractor.
