The
Mentor Driver Program
is
supporting NRMCA's CDP Certification!
DynaMax has volunteered
to work with NRMCA in supporting their CDP Certification Program. DynaMax
has agreed to cover CDP topics and test questions within any newly
developed or revised Mentor Driver video. So, as your drivers are
participating in their weekly Mentor Driver sessions they are at the same
time studying for their CDP certification. We believe this is a win-win
for the industry.

New
Videos
Check out New
Videos page often to locate all the new videos being added to
the Mentor Driver library. Also, we're getting feedback from some
users that "we need more videos!" After some
investigation, we're finding out that many companies don't even have all
the videos that are currently available. Remember when you purchase the
full program from NRMCA you only receive a set of 52 videos. The Mentor
Driver library now contains over 80 videos with new titles being added each month! So, check out
our Video Description page to make sure you have
them all!

The series wraps up with a look at one of the most abused, but critical
pieces of PPE – our boots. Based on the collaborative efforts of Danner
Inc., this lesson provides six tips critical to getting a proper fitting
pair of boots. We even include some interesting, "foundational"
information on the basics of finding the right socks to match the wearer’s
specific needs!
Secret Agent Revisited - Men in Gray - This
video lesson is designed to replace the video “Secret Agent” which
discussed air entrainment in concrete. The new updated version has a more
in depth approach to how air entrainment works coupled with improved
animations and graphics. In addition air entrainment benefits are more
fully explained with an emphasis on how the concrete delivery professional
can directly influence the outcome of air entrained concrete.
