Winching & Recovery

Off Road Winching & Recovery 

 

Learn essential off-road winching, vehicle recovery, and overland recovery techniques through professional, hands-on training. Whether you're an off-road professional, overlander, or 4x4 enthusiast, our off-road recovery and winching training teaches you how to safely use winches, kinetic recovery ropes, and other 4x4 recovery equipment.


Vehicle recovery involves tremendous forces. Our training emphasizes safety, hazard recognition, proper equipment use, and effective participation in vehicle recovery operations.


No winch or recovery equipment required! You'll train hands-on using our professional recovery equipment, learning how different tools work and when to use them. By the end of class, you'll understand what recovery gear is right for your vehicle and the type of off-roading you do.

Don't buy recovery gear before taking this class! Our training can save you hundreds of dollars by helping you avoid unnecessary equipment purchases. Already own recovery equipment? Bring it!


Whether you're traveling alone or overlanding with others, safe winching and vehicle recovery skills are essential for responsible backcountry travel.

Professionals Who Train Professionals.

 

The Driving Company's instructors each bring more than 20 years of professional off-road training experience to every course.

Every TDC instructor is California state-certified in off-road EVOC instruction. We are the only private off-road training provider in California that can make that claim.

With backgrounds in law enforcement, fire service, emergency response, and search and rescue, our instructors have trained personnel from more than 150 public safety agencies, including operators of 4x4 vehicles and large off-road fire apparatus.

When things go wrong in the backcountry, people call emergency responders and search and rescue. We train the people who come to get you.

Whether you're an emergency responder or a civilian overlander, you'll learn from instructors whose expertise goes far beyond recreational off-roading.

Experienced. State-Certified. Proven in the Field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at TheDrivingCompany@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

On the Off Road EVOC page and the Civilian Off Road page there is a PayPal button where you can pay via credit card.  Just select your date from the menu.  


For agency people, you can contact us to reserve a spot in the class and the agency can pay later if you cannot use a P-card. We can work through any billing system.


For Hollister Hills SVRA  

The meeting place is the main entrance to Hollister Hills SVRA at 7800 Cienega Rd in Hollister, California. Set your trip odometer to zero as soon as you turn on to Cienega from Union, then drive 4.9 miles to the main entrance to the park.   Turn right just after the sign that says, "Welcome To Hollister Hills" (NOT the barn that has Hollister Hills painted on it and NOT Mudstone Ranch Day Use Area). Do not turn into any of the day use areas. Do not simply follow your GPS if you are typing in the address - use the map link below. Following GPS to the address will put you in the driveway of the resident ranger rather than the meeting spot. Look for the sign! 


Just prior to the pay booth, there is a large open area on your right and you will see a blue building.  This is the classroom.  The instructors will be there about 30 min prior to start time.  If you are there earlier than that, just wait near the blue building.   DO NOT wait in line at the kiosk! DO NOT start asking park employees where the training is, they will not know. Here is a map link: https://goo.gl/maps/gzFohZ1fNWBT6MK37


For San Diego Agency Classes

Meet on the first day at the San Diego Sheriff's Dept EVOC Facility: 

7361 Otay Mesa Rd, San Diego, CA 92154

https://goo.gl/maps/xQbHWrrmq6N3Ws8x9

Note that your GPS may say this is San Ysidro Elementary School.  It is not!


For the San Diego Students: if you get separated from the group on the way to lunch, here is the meeting spot:

https://goo.gl/maps/uDRwikKGPkpvZZ1X7

Restaurant Vallarta 2335 Roll Dr #11, San Diego, CA 92154


For San Diego Students: if you get separated from the group or you are told to meet at the beach training staging area, go to the end of Palm Ave - all the way to beach gate:

Oceano Dunes SVRA Civilian and Agency Classes

 555 Pier Ave, Oceano, CA 93445
The room is called “Guiton Hall” it’s situated behind (east of) the State Park Visitor Center.  There is a small parking lot for you, and restrooms near the classroom.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/DSxbMxXMuSYWA7sA9


All classes, regardless of location, start at 8:30 am and end at 5pm or a little later.  Off road driving can be unpredictable. Classes are 8 hours in length, but we may run over depending on circumstances. 


1-Day Basic Off Road Course: $350 for Hollister Hills SVRA

 1-Day Basic Off Road Course: $495 for San Diego / Oceano Dunes

1-day Winching / Recovery Course: $350 for Hollister Hills SVRA

1-day Winching / Recovery Course: $495 for San Diego / Oceano Dunes


2-Day Courses: $695 for Hollister Hills SVRA

2-Day Courses: $995 for San Diego / Oceano Dunes


4-day Instructor Course: $1,400 for Hollister Hills SVRA

4-day Instructor Course $2,139 San Diego / Oceano Dunes 


Why are prices so different from other trainers? The off road clubs use

volunteers, they do follow-the-leader training (a large number of vehicles will follow the teacher around the trails after a briefing) and they often have a high student to instructor ratio. Other private presenters must charge very high prices to cover the high insurance costs.  We have a low 4:1 student to instructor ratio, our instructors are professionals who train search and rescue personnel, firefighters, and even the Hollister Hills staff. We can keep our prices reasonable because our insurance and other costs are spread over the hundreds of students we train each year in the Western US.


Agency EVOC classes:  100% refund if cancelled within 60 days. Within 60 days, refunds issued only if we can fill your spot. 


 Civilian Classes: Cancellations made at least 14 days before your class are eligible for a full refund or transfer to another available class date. All of our civilian classes fill with a waiting list, so we can offer a shorter refund window than agency classes. 


If you need to cancel within 14 days, we will still provide a full refund or move you to another class if we are able to fill your spot with another participant.

We can offer more flexibility with our 1-day civilian classes because these classes typically have waiting lists, making it easier to fill a last-minute opening.

We understand that plans sometimes change, and whenever we can fill your spot, we'll do our best to accommodate you with either a refund or transfer.


Multi-Day Adventure Training Courses:  

Our multi-day Adventure Training trips require participants to travel to locations throughout the western United States. Because these trips involve advance planning and travel arrangements, cancellations can be difficult to fill, even when we have a waiting list.


Cancellations made more than 60 days before the trip are eligible for a full refund.

If you cancel within 60 days of the trip, we will still provide a full refund if we are able to fill your spot with another participant. If we cannot fill your spot, your payment will be applied as a credit toward a future Adventure Training trip.


Because of the logistics involved with these trips, please make sure you are reasonably confident you can attend before registering.


 

For Public Agencies

Students should train in the type of off-road vehicle they will actually operate in the course of their duties, so please bring an agency vehicle.

Two students per vehicle works well, although students may also use individual vehicles if preferred. Either way, our course structure provides each student with plenty of hands-on driving time.


Vehicle damage during our training is extremely rare. Since 2003, only two vehicles have sustained minor damage during our courses, and in both cases the damage occurred when a driver did not follow specific instructor directions.


Type III Fire Apparatus: We can effectively rotate three students through each Type III during the driving exercises. One Type III for every three students is sufficient.


Traveling from out of state? If bringing an agency vehicle isn't practical, contact us before your course. We'll work with you to identify options for obtaining an appropriate training vehicle.


For Civilians: We do not provide vehicles.


 You will need a 4-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle for this course. All-wheel drive (AWD) is not sufficient for many of the obstacles and terrain we use during training. In our experience, AWD vehicles have not been able to successfully complete the full course.


If you have an unusual or specialty 4WD vehicle, such as a 4WD van, please contact us before registering so we can confirm that the vehicle is appropriate for the course. Sprinter Vans are All-Wheel drive with low range, despite what they tell you.  These will not make it over the obstacles in our course. And we have tried!


 The Driving Company's instructors are experienced off-road professionals, and every member of our instructional team is certified by the State of California to provide off-road EVOC instruction.

In fact, The Driving Company is the only private off-road training provider in California whose entire instructor team holds state certification for off-road EVOC instruction. No other private off-road training provider in California can make that claim.

Our instructors bring extensive real-world experience from law enforcement, fire service, emergency response, and professional off-road vehicle operations to every course we teach.

Want to know who's teaching you? Visit our Instructor Bios page to meet the team and review their individual experience and qualifications.


 Yes!  On the Civiian Off Road Page, select "Gift Certificate" on the PayPal menus.  Rob, our civilian course coordinator will send you a certificate and let you know how the recipient can select a course date.


No special off-road tires are required. Street tires are perfectly acceptable, and we can teach you how to work within the capabilities of your vehicle and tires. During the class, we'll also discuss tire options and can make recommendations based on your specific off-road and overlanding goals.  If you're considering buying new tires specifically for the class, wait until after the training. You'll be in a much better position to choose the right tires once you understand what you actually need.


Absolutely! The Driving Company provides off-road training for electric 4x4 vehicles, including the Rivian, Tesla Cybertruck, and GMC HUMMER EV. We have extensive experience training Rivian owners, including Rivian owner groups and numerous Rivian-only classes.


By the end of the class, you'll have a much better understanding of how your electric 4x4's drive systems and technology work off road and how to use your vehicle safely and effectively on challenging terrain. Rivian owners will learn how their Independent Wheel Drive (IWD) system performs off road, while Cybertruck and HUMMER EV owners will learn how to make effective use of their vehicle's unique off-road capabilities.  You'll also learn how our concept of Mechanical Sympathy applies to electric off-road vehicles and how good driving technique can help protect your vehicle while maximizing its capabilities.


For EVs, please arrive at the training area with approximately a 60–65% battery charge.


Electric 4x4s are also welcome on our free 2-day off-road trips. Rivians and Cybertrucks are regular participants, and we've even had Rivian employees join us on the trail.


For Hollister Classes:  Due to the nature of off-road driver training, our insurance requires everyone attending the Hollister classes to be considered a participant. Therefore, the regular per-person tuition applies to everyone attending, even if they don't plan to drive. If your guest will be joining you on future off-road or overlanding adventures, we strongly recommend that they participate fully in the training.


For the Off Road Overland Adventure Training Trips that are 4 or 5 days in length, we charge per vehicle for those, not per person- bring as many as you wish!


Off road, you'll frequently encounter situations where the driver needs a spotter outside the vehicle to safely guide them through obstacles that can't be seen from the driver's seat.  A good spotter needs to understand terrain, vehicle placement, clearance, safe communication, and what the driver is experiencing behind the wheel. Having both people receive the same training also gives you a common system for communicating when navigating difficult terrain.  If a trained spotter prevents even one instance of vehicle damage, the class may have already paid for itself.


Teen drivers are welcome as long as they have a valid driver's license. Due to the nature of the terrain and the potential hazards involved in off-road training, we cannot accommodate children.


  No. Our instructors are paid professionals and do not accept tips.

  • Sturdy footwear: Wear boots or sturdy shoes with good traction. You'll be getting in and out of your vehicle and walking on uneven terrain throughout the day.
  • Outdoor clothing: Dress for the weather and wear clothing you don't mind getting dusty or dirty. Off-road driving isn't a particularly clean activity! We also recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen.
  • Lunch and snacks: For our 1-day classes, please bring your own lunch and snacks. Lunch is provided during our multi-day agency training courses.
  • Water: We'll have coolers with drinking water available at all of our courses. We're also known to bring cookies.
  • Winching & Recovery Course: You don't need to bring any recovery equipment. We provide everything you'll need for the class. You'll learn how the equipment works and what you should consider buying for your own recovery kit. If you don't already own recovery gear, we recommend waiting until after the class before buying anything. If you already have a winch or recovery gear, bring it and we'll show you how to use your equipment safely and effectively.


Not for the 1-day Basic Course or the Winching & Recovery course.  


For those attending the 4-day Off Road EVOC Instructor course, it is helpful to have some off road or EVOC experience, but not necessary.


For the Special Courses such as the Oceano Dunes 2-day course, you need to have attended the 1-day Basic Course.  The recovery course is helpful, but not required.


For the Multi-day Adventure training, it is helpful for some of the more difficult locations to have been to our 1-day class, but it is not required.


 Vehicle damage during our off-road training is extremely rare. After training thousands of students since 2003, only two vehicles have sustained minor damage, and in both cases the driver did not follow specific instructor directions.  While no one can guarantee that vehicle damage will never occur during off-road driving, a major focus of our training is Mechanical Sympathy: learning how to understand your vehicle's capabilities and limitations, choose the right line, and use proper driving techniques to minimize unnecessary stress and avoid damage.  We'll teach you how to safely navigate challenging terrain without abusing your vehicle. 


You will not be driving like those horrible drivers in TV commercials who seem determined to destroy perfectly good 4x4s!


  Only trained service dogs are permitted at our training courses. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate pets or emotional support animals. 


 Yes. The Driving Company's public safety off-road EVOC courses and instructors are California POST certified. Our agency programs are specifically designed for law enforcement, fire service, public safety, and other professional vehicle operators, with instruction, exercises, and course objectives focused on the demands and responsibilities of operating vehicles in the course of duty.


No other off-road training provider in California can offer this combination of state-certified off-road EVOC courses and state-certified instructors.

Our civilian courses draw from the same proven off-road driving curriculum, techniques, and training standards developed for our professional programs, but are specifically tailored to recreational 4x4 driving and overlanding. Civilian students receive the benefit of professional-level instruction without turning the class into an agency EVOC course.


Because California POST certification and training records are reserved for eligible public safety personnel, civilian students do not receive a POST certificate and are not entered into the California POST training system.


Whether we're training emergency responders or civilian overlanders, the fundamentals of safe, skilled off-road vehicle operation remain the same. The training environment and application are tailored to the mission.


 Yes. We can schedule custom off-road training dates for groups of eight or more at Hollister Hills SVRA or Oceano Dunes SVRA (Pismo Beach).


Private one-on-one training is generally not cost-effective for either the student or our instructors, so we do not routinely offer individual private sessions. Our small-group training format provides plenty of hands-on driving time and individual instructor attention while keeping the cost reasonable.  If you have a group of eight or more, we can work with you to schedule a dedicated training date that fits your group's needs.


Yes. The Driving Company can provide off-road and EVOC training at locations throughout California and beyond, provided there is an appropriate training area available.  We have conducted on-location training at Camp Pendleton, Fort Hunter Liggett, Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, Pinnacles National Park, Camp Parks, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Frank Raines OHV Park, and Carnegie SVRA, among other locations.  We've even gone international. The Driving Company's Dave Storton conducted a two-phase training project in Tajikistan over a two-month period, so when it comes to training locations, just about anything is possible.

If your agency, organization, or group has a suitable location and would like us to bring the training to you, please use our Contact page to discuss your needs.


 We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate students with disabilities and adapt our training whenever possible. Please keep in mind that off-road training takes place in an outdoor environment on uneven terrain. Portions of the class may involve getting in and out of vehicles, walking on uneven or low-traction surfaces, and participating in activities outside the vehicle. Many training activities can be modified or adapted based on an individual's needs. If you have a disability or mobility limitation that may affect your participation, please contact us before registering. We'll discuss the course environment with you, determine what accommodations may be helpful, and work with you to make the training as accessible as reasonably possible.


This is not a complete list, but these are several of the agencies for whom we conducted off road training, many on an ongoing basis.  We also started teaching open civilian classes in 2017.  If we trained your agency offroad or on road and you are not on this list, let us know!
