Trucking & LogisticsTraining & Onboarding4HighCDL Student$ implied

CDL training teaches blind side backing is dangerous and to use GOAL frequently, but the CDL test requires blind side backing with only 2 get-out-and-look attempts, creating a dangerous contradiction.

No training tool exists that allows students to practice blind side backing with real-time feedback without needing to physically exit the vehicle, bridging the gap between cautious real-world advice and test requirements.

BackSafe Coach

A VR-based training simulator for CDL students to practice blind side backing maneuvers in a risk-free environment. It teaches proper technique with unlimited GOAL attempts and provides real-time scoring to prepare for the 2-look test limitation. Replaces dangerous real-world practice and bridges the gap between cautious instruction and test demands.

Key Features
  • Immersive VR backing scenarios including offset blind side docking
  • Unlimited get-out-and-look simulations with virtual spotter
  • Scoring system that mimics CDL test requirements (2-look limit)
  • Haptic feedback when approaching obstacles to build spatial awareness
Target Users: CDL training schools and trucking companies seeking to improve student pass rates and safety outcomes for new drivers
Revenue Model: $500/year per student license for schools; enterprise tier at $10k/year for fleets
