Be safe out There!

7 things truckers need to know about Operation Safe Driver Week The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Operation Safe Driver Week enforcement effort is just a few weeks away -- here's what you need to know to get ready.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING A DEDICATED TRUCK DRIVER?
Many truck drivers choose dedicated driving due to the benefits of the job. These include:

- More home time. Since your customers aren’t across the country, you may be able to be home multiple times per week or sometimes even daily. Since most truck driving jobs require that you be gone for weeks at a time, this is a huge benefit for those who need to get home more often. Though you will have a more consistent home schedule, it’s possible that you may have tweaks in your schedule if a delivery time changes, bad weather, or traffic delays.

- Repeat customers. Dedicated drivers deliver to the same customers, making it easier to build a relationship with your clientele. For this same reason, it’s especially important to provide the best customer service possible. As you spend more time with your clients, they will begin to associate you as the face of the company, meaning the company’s relationship partly relies on you and your performance.

- Familiar terrain. Once you’ve traveled the same route a few times, you can begin to learn the best ways to navigate and know when traffic jams will arise. While this is a more efficient way to travel, you also run the risk of becoming burned out due to the repetitiveness of the drive. If you’d rather see a new part of the country with each travel, you may be better suited for an over-the-road position than a dedicated driving job.
