Take Care of Yourself
The most important part of a moving truck or bus is the driver!
Get plenty of rest before getting behind the wheel. Eat well and stay fit. Remember, hours of service violations are serious and can threaten your livelihood or even your life.
Stay healthy and well-rested, or don't drive!
Always Maintain Your Vehicle
Inspect your vehicle before each trip and check your brakes regularly. Learn how to inspect your brakes, identify safety defects, and get them repaired before risking your life and others on the highway.
Be Aware of Your "No-Zone"
Other drivers may not be aware of the size of your truck's blind spots. Be vigilant in watching out for vehicles in the No-Zone. The No-Zone represents the danger areas, or blind spots, around trucks and buses where crashes are more likely to occur. One-third of all crashes between large trucks and cars take place in the No-Zone.
Slow Down in Work Zones
Watch out for highway construction....
