Safety Tips For Vending Route Drivers
We have all heard and seen safe driving signs and rules on the road but how many people actually follow it?
Even if you are a professional driver, there may be others who do not take appropriate care while driving, especially motorists. As an Antares vending route driver, you must exercise caution while driving. If you are a little alert and use the following common sense tips, the chances of being involved in an accident will be significantly reduced.
1. Don’t get ready to drive without having adequate food and sleep. It’s important for you to be alert and fresh while driving and also stay fit.
2. Before you start on the vending route, check your vehicle for any maintenance issues. You must be well trained about the various safety requirements, defect handling and brake inspection. It’s imperative that your Antares vehicle runs smoothly at all times.
3. It’s a bad idea to drive without your seat belt fastened. You must always keep your seat belt fastened to avoid being evicted from the vehicle in case of any crash or serious accidents. Seatbelts save lives and allow you to be in control as well as be safe.
4. Work zones should be navigated carefully. Make sure that there are no crashes here and give your truck ample space to pass through safely.
5. Another factor to be considered is your “No Zone”. The size of your truck’s blind spots may not be anticipated properly by the other drivers. So, it’s best to ensure that there are no crashes between your truck and cars in the No Zone.
6. Maintain enough distance between your vehicle and the one in front. If you hit a vehicle from behind, it is considered to be your fault. This may lead to many hassles that will disrupt your Antares vending operations.
7. Regulate your speed. If you have to travel a long distance, leave early to arrive in time. Over speeding may cost you a fine and more importantly, it’s risky for you as well as other vehicles on the road. Drive defensively and not aggressively.
8. Be professional and helpful. If there are any stranded people on the road, help them out, give notifications, directions and of any situations that include crashes or potential accidents.
