The AAA predicts, “That more than one-third of Americans will travel this holiday season. The record-breaking 112.5 million travelers taking to the nation’s runways, roads and rails for the year-end holidays represent a 4.4 percent increase over last year.” This means possible delays, traffic congestion, and impaired or distracted drivers, all combined with the unpredictable winter weather. Here are a few ways for truck drivers to stay safe during these hectic holiday travels:

• Keep Your Fuel Tank Full
This is a very important safety measure for truck drivers transporting goods through rural areas. If your truck runs out of fuel while you are stuck in road traffic, you will be blocking the road which will affect other travelers.
However, if your fuel tank is full, your mind will be at peace that you won’t have to worry about the nearest fuel station amidst traffic congestion.

• Be Careful and Vigilant
Always maintain 100% concentration while driving to avoid accidents. One of the factors that are accounted for by road accidents is a distraction. According to Fatality Analysis Reporting System, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July are some of the riskiest times of the year to get into a fatal accident.
Therefore, you need to be extra careful during the holiday rush. From the statistics of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 40% of road accidents during holiday periods involve people who are under alcohol influence.

• Maintain Visibility
Maintaining visibility is important while driving. Before you start driving, you need to ensure that your headlights, mirror, and windshield wipers are inspected. There are many problems that may arise while driving. For instance, patches of thick fog may probably block your vision, preventing you from seeing the vehicles in front.
In such a case, you may need to put on your hazard lights as a signal so that there won’t be accidents. Most importantly, you have to wait till everything gets cleared before you continue with the journey. Remember that when there is thick fog, you may need to clear the following items to maintain visibility:

•  Clear the windshield properly.
• Ice and snow may pile up on your truck mirrors. Get rid of the ice from the mirrors to maintain visibility.
• Clear your headlights or brake lights. This will help other travelers behind you to notice when you step on your brake or are about to stop.
• You may need to clear off the ice that builds up on your license plate too.

• Avoid Dangerous Overtaking
As a result of the holiday rush which may lead to increased road traffic, you may be tempted to overtake some vehicles or other large trucks. However, this may be too costly and it may eventually cause accidents. While on the road during the holiday period, you have to exercise some restraint. Don’t cut in front or overtake another truck in a very dangerous position.

• Full Compliance with Hours of Service
“Hours of service” refers to the maximum amount of time drivers are permitted to be on duty including driving time, and specifies number and length of rest periods, to help ensure that drivers stay awake and alert. In general, all carriers and drivers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) must comply with HOS regulations.

Driving is a challenging task. Whether you are an experienced driver or an amateur, driving on snowy roads can be very dangerous and difficult for truck drivers. Since a truck is a big vehicle that requires certain strength to control, the job of driving on slippery roads in the winter goes beyond a challenging task for truck drivers—it is a dangerous mission.

In fact, studies have shown that truck accidents are common during winter. From the data of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, (NHTSA), 17% of all vehicle accidents are during the winter months. However, this article shall discuss ice and snow weather tips to keep you safe during the winter period.

Let’s get started.

Check Your Truck Properly

One of the easiest protective measures is to ensure that you inspect your vehicle before you start your journey. You don’t want to be stuck amidst great piles of snow only to discover that your vehicle is faulty. Therefore, you may need to check the following items before your journey:

• Tires: Check tire pressure.
• Brakes: Check your brakes if they are in good condition. You need brakes to maintain control while driving on a snowy and slippery road.
• Wipers: Ensure that your windshield wipers can withstand the pressure of the winter period before starting your journey.

Other items to be checked include the truck’s fluids, lights, battery, and other important items in your vehicle.

Be Prepared

Apart from your vehicle inspection, it is equally important you take along with you some items to protect you against winter climate. These items are outlined below:

• warm jacket/ blankets
• Jump Cables
• A bag of sand and salt
• A flashlight 
• Ice scraper
• Food and water, etc.

Suit Your Driving Style According to the Weather Conditions

As an experienced truck driver, you need to know that you have to be more careful with your driving during the winter months. Studies have revealed that truck driving in the winter period is very dangerous. It is therefore important you maintain caution while on the highway during the season. Before you bother your mind about how to adjust your driving style, you can:

• Avoid hard acceleration. Driving too fast may make you lose control. Remember you’re driving on a slippery road and swift movement on such a road may be costly.
• Don’t slam on the brakes. Be careful when you want to brake the car to a halt.
• Drive slowly. Most importantly, there should be a distance between you and the vehicle in front. Don’t forget that trucks, unlike cars, need more space to brake to a halt.
• If you can avoid driving through mountainous roads, you should. It can be very risky to drive through such roads in harsh climatic conditions. Therefore, protect yourself by avoiding driving on such roads. But, if you need to drive through them, be gentle with your speed limit and ensure you put your hazard lights on.

Protect Yourself

Irrespective of your experience or great skill in tick driving, you are vulnerable when you face bad weather conditions. It doesn’t matter if you have been driving for years. The truth is that you may have no tactical measure to sail through bad weather conditions when they become extremely unfavorable for driving. Therefore, another driving tip during the winter season is protection. Don’t put your life at stake while taking the risk of driving through poor climatic conditions.

Look out for Hazards

As it is said in the first paragraph, driving in the winter period can be very difficult as a result of different forms of hazards that accompany the period. Therefore, when you are driving in ice and cold weather, your eyes should be on the lookout for these hazards:

• Black Ice: It may seem very difficult to identify black ice, but you must watch out for it. Patches of black ice are dangerous because they are slippery and they may cause your truck to lose control. If ice builds up on your truck’s mirror arms, the antenna, or the top corners of the windshield, there is a possibility of black ice.
• Fog: Thick fog has the chance to block your visibility while driving in bad weather conditions. When the visibility is low, you may need to drive slowly. Clear your windscreen, and put your hazard lights on.

Take Extra Caution When Stepping on Your Truck

Your truck steps can be slippery when you drive through a snowy road. This is why you have to be very careful when you want to enter or get off your truck. When the steps are being covered by ice, you may likely fall from the steps if you are not careful while stepping on them. For extra caution, you may have to wear sturdy shoes to reduce slipping.

Above all, harsh climatic conditions such as ice and snow weather can be unfavorable to truck drivers. However, you can incorporate the above tips into your driving style so that you can be safe during winter. You can be one of the beneficiaries of our truckload services. Reach out to us to enjoy our offers.

While it is one thing to be grateful for something, it is another thing to express that gratitude. This is why a recognition holiday like the annual National Truck Driver Appreciation Week takes place every year. The 2021 edition has been slated to be held September 12 to 18 but none the less we appreciate truck drivers 24/7/365!

HAPPY TRUCK DRIVERS APPRECIATION WEEK!

Our Driver Perks

For our operations, we have an unbeatable staff of truckers. As a company that affirms that it would not be in the business of serving people, we do our utmost best to make our truckers as comfortable as they can be.

Family is everything, after all. We take a family with the same level of importance as our staff who enjoy our family-friendly culture as one of our company values. This is why our truckers have the perk of being home on weekends 97% of the time.

Also, we include a rider and pet program for truckers who favor activities around either or both. In addition to efforts at keeping tabs on the welfare of our staff, we have a corporate chaplain, lending them a helping hand in coping with work-life balance as a plus to giving them work-related assistance.

Our other benefits include medical insurance health, dental and vision. Similarly, Cooper Freight factors in short and long-term disability insurance for all our employees.

Our operatives are not left exposed to uncertain circumstances. We also offer Aflac insurance, giving our workers supplemental insurance to settle extra costs which may be excluded by their major health insurance.

To further support workers’ personal finance efforts, there is an accessible credit union to them, and with these non-profit cooperatives, registered truckers can take facilities at low interest rates. In addition to Cooper Freight’s determinations to enhance workers develop healthy personal finance, we make provisions for direct deposit.

Research proves that drivers are happier when under less stress and that those who own pets experience lower blood pressure in demanding work or situations than those without pets. At Cooper, we support drivers’ health and have a pet-friendly policy as part of our rider policy.

Per our terms, we pay our driver every time they drop and hook their equipment to a trailer at the same location. In the same vein, we incorporate holiday pay into our truckers’ perks.

From time to time, extra costs may accrue to truckers. We know about these instances and have a system for reimbursing our loyal truckers for paid parking during trips.

Everybody loves the summer season. It is an opportunity for us to feel warmer, and experience longer nights. Summer makes it possible to go on the vacations we have dreamt about and to enjoy all the fun there is.

Ideally, the summer season gives us the perfect weather. Our eyes are sharper to see clearly and it offers everyone, including truck drivers the privilege to drive on dry roads. However, all of these benefits come with certain negative effects if not well enjoyed.

Road accidents don’t just happen; certain factors cause them and some of these factors are beyond the control of the truck drivers.

Truck drivers work throughout the year, however, records have it that there are usually more accidents experienced by truck drivers during the summer than in the winter.

During summer, there are usually more people using the road. A recent study by NHTSA shows that there is a rise in the number of road users during the summer season, usually about twenty percent.

Since not all of these road users are expert drivers, this consequently means that there is a higher likelihood that an accident rate may increase likewise.

It has been discovered that during summer, most of these road users are young chap, usually students on summer break. Their years of driving experience is lesser than you can imagine. This is why more road accidents are recorded during the summer season.

The hot temperature during the summer season also calls for concern. There is usually a high rate of road accidents recorded due to its negative impact on truck tires. Truck tires expand and blowout during the summer season because of an increase in temperature.

The flow of vehicular movement during the summer season is usually restricted due to civil construction companies and asphalt plants who are busy working on the road. During this period, most roads are closed, lanes are suddenly altered and there is usually traffic congestion.

Generally, about ninety percent of road accidents are caused by drivers. This is why it is very important for drivers, especially those who drive for Cooper Freight to know the hazards and risks they are likely to face during summer and also know how to drive safely in this season.

Safety Tips to Beat The Heat

Regardless of your driving experience, there are safety tips that you must adhere to as a truck driver. During the summer season, there are necessary safety precautions that you must practically apply and follow in order not to be a victim of any road accident.

1. Always Stay hydrated

Most company drivers usually get engrossed in their driving work that they forget to take water. There is a very high probability of a truck driver failing to drink water while driving.

The summer season is usually very hot. This increase in temperature means that staying hydrated is non-negotiable. A bottle of water by your side will be of great help. If possible, you can even set a reminder until your mind has been unconsciously trained for this new lifestyle.

Another effective means of staying hydrated is to have electrolyte powder with you always. When you sense the feeling of dehydration, you can mix the electrolyte supplement with a bottle of water, and you will be fine. Gatorade is a great brand you can go for and it is available in most grocery stores.

2. Inflate your truck tires well

It has been observed that most truck tires usually blowout during the summer season due to the increase in atmospheric temperature. Insufficient air in your truck tires can heightened the chances of tire blowout, which his can be very dangerous. This is why you must confirm daily whether or not your truck is well inflated before setting out for the day.

3. Examine the brake system

There is a loss of friction that occurs often during the summer season. This is because in this season, the brake system is unable to absorb extra heat. This can be very risky.

A brake failure may occur on motion which may lead to fatal road accidents. This is why it is very important for local drivers to always examine the brake system of their trucks regularly.

4. Stay away from harsh sunlight

Local drivers are exposed to the harsh intensity of sunlight during the day throughout the summer season and this can be very unsafe. This is why road experts have recommended that truck drivers should endeavor to wear long sleeve clothes and sunscreens to protect themselves. Another effective way is to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.

5. Drive safely on congested roads

During the summer season, there is usually traffic congestion due to a geometric increase in the number of road users and the construction activities going on these roads.

Many students and families are outside observing the summer break. The roads are usually jam-packed. This makes driving unsafe for most truck drivers. Hence, every truck driver must be extra cautious during the season.  They must be more vigilant in order to avoid causing any road accident.

The summer is the best season to enjoy and have fun. Follow the truck driving safety tips above and have fun, stay comfortable and safe when you drive.

It’s tough to be a trucker – you’re always on the road and don’t have that many options when it comes to Healthy Snacks for the Road. It’s tough to be selective when you have very limited choices when it comes to grab-n-go snacks. But don’t you worry, we’ve got a whole list of snacks for all you truckers out there. Let’s begin shall we.

Granola Bars

Let’s start with the basic. Granola bars are amazing Healthy Snacks for Truckers and you can just buy them at any nearby store and just eat them. Granola bars are filled with a lot of protein, calories, micronutrients and fiber – all essential components to keep you going

Popcorn

Number two on our list is perhaps the king of all Grab-n-Go snacks – popcorn. Available at almost every other store in the locality, and they are delicious. If you want to take things to the next level, get the cheesy popcorns. Don’t freak out – it’s a thin layer of cheese on something that is a great fiber source. Popcorns are also low calories. There are also some vegan options available to if you want.

Fresh and Dried Fruits

Fruits are the Best Grab-n-Go Snacks and perhaps the most underrated snacks of all time. Just think about it, you don’t have deal with any wrappers, they don’t create any mess and easily available. All Truck Drivers should have at least some fruits on the road.

Yogurt

When you’re on the road constantly, digestion is important especially if you’re a truck driver. Yogurt is an incredible grab-n-go snack as it promotes bone health and has high concentration of calcium and probiotics.

Summing It Up

Hope you like our list and make sure you have at least a couple of these items on your next road trip.
