Pulse Resources is a one-stop shop for Pulse users to quickly access transportation-related resources. Pulse Resources includes:
Training
All Pulse Users have access to the full Pulse Training Library (also available in Spanish and French). Within this section, you can take trainings to further boost your prospects as a driver. After completing a training course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion that will be stored in your profile that you can provide to carriers.
If you are currently working with a company, any trainings that have been assigned to you by that company will appear in the top section of this screen under “Pending Company Training”. (Please note: any course under the “Pulse Training Content” section is optional and may not be required by the company you are applying for.)
FMCSA
The “FMCSA” button allows you to navigate directly to the FMCSA Clearinghouse Website to either register for an account, or to log in to approve any Clearinghouse Requests on a Pre-Employment Clearinghouse Query.
Once you have logged in, your pending requests will show here:
DLP
Driver Legal Plan (DLP) is an national law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of truck drivers, and therefore the interests of trucking companies. We’ve integrated with them so you can enjoy their services directly from the Pulse app. By clicking into the Driver Legal Plan button, you will be prompted to create a new account and sign up directly with the Driver Legal Plan.
Highway Angel Nomination Form
Do you know of a professional truck driver who has performed a good deed or heroic act while on the job? If so, you can nominate them as a Highway Angel with the TCA. Just select the Highway Angel Nomination form in Pulse Community to complete and send the form through Driver Pulse.
Truckers Against Trafficking
If you witness a crime in process, call 911 first.
If you are unsure and would like to ascertain if you are witnessing or if you want to follow up with incidents after reporting trafficking, you can access the hotline from the Community tab. If you are sharing your location in Pulse, it will show the local trafficking number.
If you have seen someone in the trucking or energy sector step up against Human Trafficking, you can nominate them for the Harriet Tubman Award by filling out the form. This will give the individual to be recognized by TAT and the possibility of earning a cash reward.
Predatory Towing
When a towing company uses unethical or illegal means to take possession of equipment it is considered Predatory towing. The towing company will often charge excessive fees or refuse to release the item. You can help protect your self by using the Predatory Towing Prevention Form in Pulse Community. When you need to park your equipment, especially in a questionable area, use the form for reminders of what to look out for as well as an area that you can document details about parking.
