ROAD SECURITY TIPS

Install and use devices that can truck, monitor and immobilize your equipment on the road. Place tracking devices in cargo loads.

Train your drivers how to respond appropriately if they are hijacked. Good safety training may save drivers lives.

Have safety procedures in place and demand that drivers use them all the time.

Adequately identify all your vehicles with your company name and unit numbers.

Have emergency procedure in place for handling sudden or unexpected situations.

Provide quality locks for your equipment and demand their use. Drivers should remove the keys every time when equipment is left unattended. Require a vehicle to be locked at all times.

Have route planning with scheduled stops, and different routes planned so that a routine pattern is not established. Switch planned routes randomly for extra protection.

DRIVING TIPS

Commercial driving is demanding job! A commercial driver must not be tired or drowsy while operating a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, many accidents occur because drivers are not alert or fall asleep at the wheel. It is absolutely vital that drivers remain awake and alert when behind the wheel in order to drive safely and avoid accidents.

All commercial drivers in the industry know the importance of good route planning. Not only is it essential to plan where to refuel, eat and rest; but as some North American roads become increasingly busy during summer time, heavy transport truck drivers must also take into account congestion, accidents and planned road maintenance.

Keep in mind that the route recommended by your GPS is not always suitable for heavy vehicle transport (in terms of weights and dimensions). Always check your route on the map. It is also good idea to test your GPS device for places you know well! This will give you an idea of how wrong the instrument can be.
