SKIDCAR News – Summer/Fall 2011

We at SKIDCAR SYSTEM, Inc. have been very busy with a number of new SKIDCAR™ deliveries and trainings. Below is the first in a series of highlights regarding companies and departments we have had an opportunity to visit over the past several months.

Southeast Regional College: Weyburn Campus, Saskatchewan, CANADA

The trend of community colleges offering unique curriculum is not new in North America. SKIDCAR SYSTEM® has been integrated into the Law Enforcement driver training programs at more than 28 community colleges around the country. But one such college in Canada has purchased a SKIDCAR for a new customer base; the oil and gas industry in the southern province of Saskatchewan.

Their instructor staff, utilizing the parking area at the regional airport, is now offering training courses featuring a Chevrolet Tahoe attached to a Type B SKIDCAR SYSTEM. The Tahoe SKIDCAR’s ability for training with 2 wheel, 4 wheel, and automatic 4 wheel drive is perfect for the challenging conditions and environment of rural Saskatchewan.

New vehicles used in the oil patch are coming standard with Electronic Stability Controls, traction controls, and ABS brakes, making this SKIDCAR training a fundamentally positive step forward in mitigating safety concerns from the industry. Congratulations to Southeast Regional College for accomplishing this much needed advancement in their area for oil field safety!
