Trucker Safety Tips Part 1
Summary
While our web-based transportation software will certainly help you with things such as billing, payroll, fuel tax management, and more, it is up to you to be extra safe out there. We understand that you want to make great time to your destination, but that doesn’t mean that you should put the pedal to the metal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that a tractor-trailer that is going at 60 miles per hour must be able to come to a complete stop in 250 feet. So make sure that when you have a car in front of you or are coming up to a stopping point that you give yourself plenty of room. Make sure that you are getting the proper rest that your body needs, and if you feel yourself drifting off or just incredibly tired, pull off the road as soon as you can.
