Of all driving safety tips, this one is most often ignored by truckers.

We've all heard it before. Shippers will too often say, ‘Oh, we have trucks in here all the time, it’s ok’.

Check for yourself. A truck can easily get trapped and unable to turn around or the docking facility just isn’t suitable for big rigs.

By getting out of your truck and looking around for yourself, you’ll see obstacles that may be in your way, such as low fire hydrants, posts, ditches, etc.

Be alert.
✔️ Know everything going on around you.
✔️Always look well ahead down the road and around your rig.
✔️When rolling down the highway, especially in heavy traffic, always plan an ‘escape route’.
✔️Be aware of who’s in front of you, beside you and behind you at all times. Be aware of everything, so you can act accordingly, if and when necessary.
✔️Being well rested keeps you at your best.
✔️The electronic logbook system potentially provides a system for drivers to be well rested, IF utilized properly by the carrier.
