摘要：	This Instructor Manual is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's, Federal Highway Administration's, Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety (BMCS) Model Curriculum for Training Tractor-Trailer Drivers, hereafter referred to as the 'Curriculum.' The content of the manual is based upon the BMCS Proposed Minimum Standards For Training Tractor-Trailer Drivers, hereafter referred to as the 'BMCS Standards.' The objectives, content, methods, instructional times, materials, equipment and facilities specified in this Curriculum are in full compliance with the BMCS Standards and may be used as a guide to better comprehension of both the requirements and 'spirit' of the BMCS Standards. It should be emphasized that the BMCS Standards are minimum standards, therefore, this Curriculum is to be considered a basic or 'core type' of curriculum. Graduates of this Curriculum cannot be considered fully trained, 'ready to solo' type drivers. This can only be accomplished if the Curriculum is considerably expanded and enriched to provide both additional driving time and material pertinent to the particular driving job that the student is being trained for. The five major sections of the Curriculum are as follows: Section I - Basic Operation: This section is concerned with the interaction between students and the vehicle. It is intended to enable students to control the motion of the vehicle, make sure it is in proper operating condition, and correctly coupled to trailers. Section 2 - Safe Operating Practices: This section is concerned with the interaction between the student-vehicle combination and the highway traffic environment. It is intended to enable students to apply their basic operating skills in a way that ensures their own safety and that of other road users. Section 3 - Advanced Operating Practices: This section is concerned with the higher level skills needed to cope with the hazards of the roadway-traffic environment. Its purpose is to develop the perceptual skills needed to recognize the potential hazard as well as the manipulative skills needed to handle the vehicle in an emergency. Section 4 - Vehicle Maintenance: This section is concerned with how the various components of the vehicle work so that you can recognize a malfunction or safety hazard before it can cause serious damage or an accident. Its purpose is to enable students to perform routine service functions and simple maintenance tasks, as well as how to recognize when the vehicle needs repairs. Section 5 - Non-vehicle Activities: This section is concerned with activities that are not directly related to the vehicle itself, but which must be performed by tractor-trailer drivers. Its purpose is to see that these activities are carried out in a way that ensures safety to the driver, vehicle, cargo and other motorists.
