The Open Road: Staying Safe
7 Safety Tips to keep the Roads ahead safe for the Pro Trucker
1. Pre-Trip Inspection
It’s in your best interest to find issues before an inspector does. A 30-minute truck inspection can save you hours and money in the long run. Some important things to check include tire wear, water leaks, air leaks (which ruin your brake lines), springs and bolts, lights and chafing of air hoses and most importantly tie your 4 corners down ensuring your container load stays put! Protect yourself from mechanical breakdowns and potential accidents by ensuring that your truck is safe and compliant with both state and federal regulations. Avoid CSA violations with a thorough pre-trip inspection.
2. Regular Truck Maintenance for Safer Driving
Drivers are responsible for keeping their trucks well maintained and in good driving condition. Comply with quarterly safety inspections and routinely check tires, lights and brakes. Doing so will help to prevent potential problems and CSA maintenance violations. Let the EVANS Delivery JAX on-site Heavy Repair facility assist you with your regular maintenance and upkeep of your rig for safe and trouble free trips!
3. Follow Weather Reporting
Hazardous winter weather and unsafe road conditions are common across the country. Always map your routes and try to avoid extreme weather conditions if possible. In the winter, remove ice and snow from your truck for greater visibility. Also, prepare an emergency kit just in case. A good rule of thumb is to cut your speed down by one third on wet roads and by one-half in snowy or icy conditions. Give yourself plenty of time for maneuvers in bad weather.
4. Take Frequent Breaks
FMCSA’s federal regulations require that truck drivers take a 30-minute break during the first 8 hours of every shift. There is also an 11-hour daily driving limit and a 14-hour work day requirement. Whenever you get a chance, make frequent stops to stretch your legs or sleep. Fighting fatigue creates a dangerous situation for yourself and other drivers on the road.
5. Hands on the wheel never on your phone
Commercial drivers are not permitted to use a hand-held mobile telephone while operating a
Commercial Motor Vehicle - whether the vehicle is in motion or stopped at a traffic light. This
includes, but is not limited to, answering or making phone calls, engaging in phone conversations, and reading or responding to emails, instant messages and text messages.
If you must use a cell phone, then find a safe space off the roadway or better yet install and use a hands free device. Hands free devices are those that can initiate, answer or terminate a call with a simple touch of a single button, or voice commands and are within easy reach and do not require the use of a hand to hold the device to conduct speech communication.
6. Reduce Speeds on Curves and in Work Zones
Did you know that almost one third of all fatal work-zone accidents involve large trucks? Always take your time in construction zones, and watch for workers. Remember – speeds on exit and entrance ramps are usually posted for cars, not for trucks. Make sure to set your speed much lower than the posted speed limit when entering and exiting interstate ramps.
7. Keep Your Distance
Leaving extra room in front of your rig will keep you out of trouble. If anything happens, odds are it will happen ahead of you. The more space you leave in front of you, the more opportunity you’ll have to correct and slow down, should something occur.
