Optimizing Driver Training and Compliance at Anheuser-Busch

How Anheuser-Busch Transformed their CDL Training Program, Eliminating Manual Processes and Maintaining Compliance with Federal Regulations

The Challenge

Anheuser-Busch encountered a hurdle in accurately tracking test scores for Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) theory-based requirements for Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Class A and Class B. To meet regulatory requirements, drivers must score at least 80% to pass the ELDT test, while organizations must maintain proper documentation to support compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. The absence of a robust and reliable tracking system created operational inefficiencies and compliance risks for the organization.

The Choice

With Vector Solutions’ Transportation Safety and Compliance Training Library, Anheuser-Busch successfully implemented a training program that streamlined their CDL training and test score tracking. The organization was not only able to assign targeted training that supported their drivers in receiving the most relevant and practical instruction but also track and report drivers’ test scores directly to the FMCSA, making it the ideal partnership that enhanced operational efficiency and compliance.

“One of the key things that led us to Vector Solutions was the ability to track test scores within the CDL online training, which includes the essential theoretical content that drivers must complete. They must achieve an 80 percent in order to pass the test and regulations require that is somehow tracked and that need was met by Vector Solutions.”
— Marsha Poling, Senior Manager for Learning and Development

The Change

The shift to Vector Solutions welcomed immediate and long-term improvements to Anheuser-Busch’s operations. Key benefits include:

• Accurate Test Score Tracking: Tracking test scores and submitting them to FMCSA for continued compliance.
• Mobile Enhancement: Accessible and convenient on the go training that ensured drivers could complete training on any device.
• Historical Test Score Tracking: Anheuser-Busch can now access a history of test scores, including instances where drivers retake tests to achieve the required 80%.
• Operational Efficiency: Seamless implementation, supported by a dedicated team, laid the foundation for smooth and efficient operations.

The Impact

“Another plus was that Vector Solutions provides automatic submission to the FMCSA for online training completions. And that just takes another step away from what we and our customers (drivers) were having to do so that makes it really nice.”
— Marsha Poling, Senior Manager for Learning and Development

Since implementing Vector’s Transportation Safety and Compliance online training library, Anheuser-Busch has minimized their risk of non-compliance with FMCSA regulations by capturing and reporting CDL training test scores accurately. Through historical data, they were also able to get deeper insights into the efficacy of their training programs, ensuring drivers receive relevant and practical on-the-go training.

With Vector Solutions, Anheuser-Busch continues to embrace their traditions with innovative solutions, supporting a future with even more cheers. Interested in hearing more from Marsha about Anheuser-Busch and Vector Solutions’ partnership? Watch the customer testimonial here.
