train-defensive-driving-course-requirements

train-defensive-driving-course-requirements is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from x3allamerican/skills. It costs 32 tokens per session (638 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to defensive-driving training expectations for commercial-motor-vehicle drivers. It separates federal requirements from state rules and training that a carrier chooses to provide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether training is legally required, plan new-hire or refresher courses, and choose programs such as Smith System or online DOT courses.
Why use it?
It prevents carriers from treating recommended refresher training as a universal federal requirement. It also helps identify extra training triggered by a state rule, accident, violation, or specialized endorsement.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

train-defensive-driving-course-requirements scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Defensive Driving Course Requirements

Federal law does NOT mandate defensive driving training for CMV drivers (except for entry-level ELDT requirements). State and carrier requirements vary widely.

What federal law requires (§ 391.11)

Driver must "possess the necessary skills to safely operate a CMV." This is a general qualification, not a course requirement. ELDT (49 CFR Part 380) requires 31 theory + 19 behind-the-wheel topics for first-time CDL applicants — but no recurring federal training.

State-level requirements

  • Some states (CA, OH, others) mandate defensive driving for renewal of certain CDL endorsements
  • Some states mandate accident-history-triggered training (driver had X+ accidents → required course)
  • Hazmat endorsement renewal may require security awareness training

Carrier-level requirements (most common)

  • New-hire orientation: typically 2-8 hours
  • Annual refresher: 1-4 hours (recommended, not required)
  • Post-accident review (if accidents occur)
  • Roadside-inspection-triggered: if BASIC alerts, supplemental training

Programs commonly used

  • Smith System — defensive driving methodology (5 keys to safety)
  • CarriersEdge — DOT-focused online courses
  • JJ Keller Encompass — full LMS with hundreds of DOT courses
  • Smith System certified instructor — at carrier or vendor
  • Various TPR-registered providers for ELDT

What auditors look for

  • Training records in employee file (not DQF)
  • Date completed, hours, instructor/vendor
  • Specific course/topic covered
  • Driver acknowledgment of completion

How Compass tracks

Compass Training module:

  • Course library imported from LMS vendors (Infinit-i, JJ Keller, etc.)
  • Per-driver completion tracking
  • Renewal alerts for required training
  • Audit-ready report exports

CFR citations

  • 49 CFR § 391.11
  • 49 CFR Part 380

How Compass surfaces this

Searchable in Compass Ask. Runs against carrier fleet data when invoked from the relevant tracker. Read-only; no actions without explicit user approval.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
