HACKS FOR TRUCKERS TO HAVE A SAFE AND SOUND ON ROAD EXPERIENCE


In India, driving a truck is the profession which affects Indian economy directly. Government is taking all the necessary steps for the betterment of Road Transport in India while keeping in mind the health & comfort of truck drivers.


As driving a truck is quite a tiresome job, especially for the drivers who drive hundreds of kilometers, during the day regardless of the weather conditions, which can be risky due to the fatigue driving most of the time. 

Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) has bought some tips and tricks to boost the driver’s experience during long hours of journey. Being the No.1 service provider of used vehicle &equipment in India, we witness huge footfall of truck drivers in our Automalls, so we understand what they go through on daily basis. So, these hacks are for them to help themselves have a safe and sound journey.

Safety Truck Driving Hacks for Truckers:

      Be alert & avoid phone

Always be aware about everything going around you. When rolling down the highway, especially in heavy traffic, try being aware of who’s in front of you, beside you and behind you at all times. Try to avoid phone, if it’s important park the truck somewhere safe and then get back to the person calling you.

Check weather reports

Prior to departing for the long journey, check weather reports to be ready for all the things that could go wrong on the way as prevention is always better than cure. And also keep an eye on the road to check the change road condition due to change of weather.

Avoid traffic

If you are driving a heavy, loaded truck try to avoid traffic, as any mishap could risk the life of other road commuters around you. And greater the traffic, greater are the odds of an accident.

  Check out delivery spots

While delivering to somewhere new, prefer to get down from your truck and inspect the place on foot, this will give you break as well as will help you learn if the delivering place even have enough space to bring a truck over there.


 Leave room in front of your Vehicle

Always leave space in front of your vehicle, no matter what. It’s understandable that it gets quite frustrating when everyone around you is driving faster than you, but it helps you only to stay out of trouble of hurting someone and severe accidents.

 Be extra cautious at night

Truckers at night should always be extra cautious and attentive as it could be quite dangerous on being on road at night with heavy loads. If you are felling sleepy and distracted, prefer to take some rest and restart your journey after you feel fit for it.

 Change lanes as little as possible

Try not change lanes often, as that could confuse the vehicle drivers around you resulting in collision. If you do find it necessary to change lanes, move over very carefully, being aware of your blind spots, while constantly checking your mirrors.

  Slow down

Yes. Accept the fact that you are not driving a car or a motorcycle; you are driving a fully loaded huge truck. Always take the corners and ramps very slowly. Be upright.

           Use a trucker’s GPS

Use the GPS especially made for you to learn the important information on which exit to take, distance before exit, when to change lanes, traffic reports etc.

 Take breaks and check your rig

Take small breaks, stretch yourself, refresh yourself and take a walk around your truck while giving attention to the detail, check the load you are carrying. If something seems absurd, fix it right there, right then.

SAMIL, while serving you hope for your safe and sound journey. As driving a truck involves a great deal of skill, loads of responsibility for the safety of others and the driver himself and most importantly good common sense as well.
