Emergencies & First Response · Driver Training VideoDriver Medical Emergency

A driver who pushes through a medical event turns a health emergency into a multi-vehicle crash. Drivers learn to get the truck stopped, call 911 with an exact location, and handle someone else's emergency without moving an injured person.

What drivers learn

Start with the one that scares people most: a medical event while you're driving. Chest pain, sudden weakness on one side, vision going, confusion, a seizure coming on. The instinct is to fight through it and reach a shoulder.

Once you're stopped: hazards on, brake set, transmission in park or neutral. Call 911 yourself if you still can.

Now the other direction — you come across someone else's emergency. Get your own rig stopped well clear of the travel lane first. Only then assess.

Your company standard: save 911 and dispatch's emergency line as one-touch contacts before you need them. Know your last mile marker at all times. Keep a first-aid kit and reflective triangles current and reachable, not buried under a load.

The pattern is always the same: stop safely, call for help, give a real location, and don't create a second emergency while responding to the first. You're far more valuable as the driver who stopped in time than the one who tried to be a hero and didn't make the shoulder.

Sample quiz questions

3 of the 10 questions drivers answer after the video. Quizzes run in the driver's own language.

You're driving and feel a medical event starting - chest pain, sudden weakness on one side, vision going, confusion, or a seizure coming on. What should you do?
  1. Push through and try to finish the mile to your stop
  2. Fight to get the truck stopped - signal, ease off the throttle, and work toward the shoulder or nearest exit
  3. Speed up so you reach the next exit faster
  4. Call dispatch first and wait for instructions before slowing down
Show answer

Fight to get the truck stopped - signal, ease off the throttle, and work toward the shoulder or nearest exit

Why does the training say a truck parked safely on the shoulder is better than one still rolling with an incapacitated driver?
  1. A parked truck avoids a parking ticket
  2. A parked truck saves fuel
  3. A rolling truck with an incapacitated driver can become a multi-vehicle catastrophe, while a parked truck is just a delay
  4. A parked truck is easier for dispatch to locate
Show answer

A rolling truck with an incapacitated driver can become a multi-vehicle catastrophe, while a parked truck is just a delay

Once you get the truck stopped for your own medical emergency, what should you do with the vehicle itself?
  1. Turn on hazards, set the brake, and put the transmission in park or neutral
  2. Leave the engine running and get out immediately
  3. Leave hazards off to save the battery
  4. Leave the transmission in gear in case you need to move again
Show answer

Turn on hazards, set the brake, and put the transmission in park or neutral
