Many truckers in the
United States may have made a pledge to be on the road most of the
time. Better economic conditions also result in better pay because of
the ample activity in bringing goods to and fro. Still, some drivers
can be in a committed relationship and want to come back home safely
to their loved ones, hence adding better emphasis to safety on the
road. Here are some effective measures to help you reach your
destination in one piece:
Superhuman You Are
Not
Some truck driving jobs
can require traveling hundreds of miles in one day, but even the
driver must recognize the value of rest at certain legs of the trip
and avoid having shutter trouble. In this respect, drivers must have
their logbooks ready and draw the lines (jot down drive times)
according to hours of service rules. Truck stops are always open
along the highway, giving you the opportunity to relax and socialize
with other drivers.
Lane Stick
Truckers must always
stay on one lane for the entire trip. This gives other motorists the
space to maneuver without the danger of property damage. If you are
forced to leave the lane under unavoidable circumstances such as wind
or fatigue, do so as long as you stay in control of the vehicle. Be
informed of any highway construction projects and act accordingly.
