CMV Web-Based Driving Tips

I think in this business you always learn something new, and should always go back remember whats it takes to stay in the busines safety is key.

 

I watched all the videos. Some real eye openers. I haven't started my driving yet. I have secured a job. Luckily I have experience with haz/mat in a straight truck, and a clean mvr, as well as no criminal history. I want to go into trucking with safety as the major aspect of every decision I make. Unfortuneatly, I worked for a company that only cared about speed. I know what I don't want.
Thanks for the access to the website. I truly appreciate learning good habits right off the bat.

Some great stuff to help us remember what we are "supposed" to be doing out there. Hope you all remember these videos next time you are behind me in a construction zone.

 

Very good info, thanks for the post.
Do carriers place cameras into their trucks without the drivers knowledge...?
I would hate to be caught staring at the wrong type of "headlights" or wrist deep in a "pick at a light"

 

this was a eye opener for me, i sorta forgot the hazard of trucking , but when i went for my training with my brother last week at his work, i drove in town, a town called Davenport, Iowa, we went too the Purina plant there too load, the street was small, and everybody favorite cut thru too too hy-way 61 north and south, we line up sideways too dock, open the doors , then you have to go across the road sideways up to the fence on the other side to back into dock, i would see this as very dangerous for one person as he cannot see the other drivers coming from the right,. i plan too buy some orange cones and block off the street till i get back in or call the police in.i know i be going there lot's too.
