4 tips for truckers: 

  1. Stay rested
  2. Stay hydrated
  3. Don’t be afraid to ask questions
  4. Obey traffic laws

Stay rested

Being on the road means that you need to be alert at all times. If you are feeling drowsy or distracted due to lack of sleep, don’t keep driving. It’s important that you are getting the recommended amount of sleep at all times. If you are tired, you aren’t able to focus on the task at hand and are at a higher risk of causing an accident. 

Stay hydrated

Are you drinking enough water? The question you’ve probably heard all of your life. It is important that you are staying hydrated because dehydration can cause a lack of focus and slower reaction time. Talk to your doctor for healthy eating options and proper hydration requirements. Taking care of yourself makes all the difference. 

Don’t be afraid to ask questions 

If you don’t know the answer to something, don’t be afraid to ask. There is no such thing as a dumb question. If you are struggling with something, it is important to know the right or wrong way to do it. You have a team of people who are willing to help or there are plenty of trucker support groups that can be found online. Answers are everywhere! 

Obey traffic laws

Don’t speed. There are tons of traffic laws and they can change depending on the state or area you are driving through. Don’t get caught breaking the laws. Reckless driving is also a big reason for accidents. Help keep yourself and others safe while on the road by following the traffic laws set.
