Education

One of the advantages of membership in AJE is the opportunity to learn from and share with each other.  AJE has some of the most experienced and knowledgable wheelers around and we have developed a library of educational resources and programs available exclusively to our members. This library includes pages full of insider information gathered through our members’ experiences, from our Wheeling University program, to information about your rig and wheeling, to safety considerations on the trail.

WHEELING UNIVERSITY – Our experienced AJE members have always been willing to pass on their knowledge to new club members and newcomers to the sport. As the club continues to grow, the need for this form of education does, as well. We decided to address this need by rolling out a series of one day courses for our members under the umbrella of Wheeling University. These free courses contain both discussion and practicum sections and they include topics such as Newbie 101 and Spotting 101.

INFORMATION RESOURCES – While some AJE members have years of experience wrenching and wheeling, others are relative newcomers, and one of our goals is to help promote and grow our sport by providing information to “newbies”.  Collected in this section is a wide variety of topics we hope our members will find helpful. It includes information on all the major components in your rig, engine codes, radios & communication, tools & supplies for the trail, spare parts for the trail, what to bring wheeling, and also a wheeling dictionary that covers some of the unique terminology of our sport.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS – Wheeling is inherently safer than other motorsports where high speeds are the norm, but our sport is certainly not without risk.  Collected in this section is information about situational awareness and emergency preparedness, which are the keys to reducing the likelihood of encountering dangerous situations and to minimizing the chance of serious injury when accidents occur. It includes information on working with a spotter, recovery situations, hi-lift jacks, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and more.
