Common questions about transportation safety and compliance
Required safety equipment includes fire extinguisher, emergency reflectors or flares, spare fuses, emergency tool kit, and first aid kit. Additional equipment may be required based on cargo type and vehicle specifications.
Pre-trip inspections are required before every trip. Post-trip inspections should be completed after each day of driving. Additionally, periodic inspections are required based on vehicle type and usage patterns.
Pull over in a safe location immediately. Take a 15-20 minute nap if possible, or rest until you feel alert. Contact your dispatcher to report the delay. Never attempt to drive while fatigued as it significantly increases accident risk.
Maintain a regular exercise routine, eat nutritious meals, stay hydrated, get adequate sleep, take regular breaks, and have regular medical check-ups. Consider healthy snacks and meal planning for long trips.
Common causes include driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, following too closely, improper lane changes, vehicle maintenance issues, and driving under the influence. Most accidents are preventable through proper safety practices.
Safety training is available through approved training providers, trucking schools, fleet safety departments, online training platforms, and professional associations. Many programs offer DOT-approved certifications.
