Hazardous materials placards must be at least 10 and three-quarter inches square.
The most important reason to inspect your vehicle is to ensure the safety of yourself and other road users.
Air expands as its temperature increases, so air pressure in your tires is likely to increase when you are driving in very hot weather. Under such conditions, stop periodically to ensure that your tires are not at risk of blowing out or catching fire.
The method of controlled braking involves applying the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels. If you need to make large steering adjustments while using controlled braking, you should remove your foot from the brake pedal, steer, then reapply the brakes.
Cargo and its securing devices must be inspected before starting a trip. After beginning a trip, the driver should check the load and securing devices within the first 50 miles on the road, every three hours or 150 miles traveled, and after every break.
Driving while fatigued is dangerous and increases the risk of a crash. Take precautions before a trip to prevent driving while fatigued.
In an air brake system, the air compressor governor controls when the air compressor pumps air into the air storage tanks.
Be cautious when driving near people who are not paying attention to the road. Be wary of road workers, drivers who are engaged in conversation with passengers, and children near the road.
Air storage tanks are used to hold compressed air. The number and size of air tanks in an air brake system varies among vehicles.
When stopping, it is best to gradually press down the brake pedal.
In an air brake system, air tanks have drains to remove accumulations of water and compressor oil. Allowing water and oil to accumulate in the system could cause damage to the brakes. Manually operated drains should be used daily.
Dry bulk tanks require special care to be driven, both because they have high centers of gravity and because the weight of the load can shift in transit.
The person driving a vehicle is responsible for its safe operation. Be sure to perform routine vehicle inspections before operating a commercial motor vehicle.
To prevent drowsiness on a long trip, strategies include getting adequate sleep beforehand; planning out the route and stopping points in advance; driving with a passenger; and driving at times during which you are normally awake.
In an air brake system, the air storage tanks are equipped with drains to allow water and compressor oil to be removed. The water and oil can damage the brakes if left to accumulate in the system.
On flatbed trailers or trailers without sides, cargo must be tied down to prevent it from shifting or falling off in transit.
Improperly secured or loaded cargo can be very dangerous. For example, loose cargo could fall in the event of a sudden stop, potentially injuring or even killing the driver.
While regular mirror checks should be part of your normal scanning routine, be especially sure to check your mirrors when changing lanes.
In general, a smaller vehicle will be able to come to a complete stop faster than a larger vehicle. Keep this in mind when determining your following distance.
Lane changes should always be executed slowly and smoothly. This will result in safer handling of your vehicle while allowing time for other drivers to react to your movements.
In an air brake system, the air compressor governor controls when the air compressor pumps air into the air storage tanks.
If your vehicle has air brakes, the air compressor drive belt should be checked before each drive. Check the tightness of the belt and verify that it is in good condition.
In the event of tire failure, hold the steering wheel firmly. Stay off the brakes and let the vehicle slow down on its own. Once the vehicle has slowed considerably, you should brake very gently, pull off the road, and stop. Check your tires after coming to a complete stop.
When turning quickly to avoid an object, turn only as much as is necessary to clear it. Do not apply the brakes while turning.
Mirrors should be checked prior to the beginning of a trip. On a vehicle with a trailer, mirror adjustment can only be checked accurately if the connected trailer is straight.
Air brakes function through the use of compressed air.
Most drivers are the least alert at night, especially after midnight. Therefore, crashes due to fatigued driving are more likely at night than any other time of day.
The securement of cargo must be checked before beginning a trip, within the first 50 miles of a trip, and then again every three hours or 150 miles.
A vehicle inspection report allows a driver to inform the motor carrier of issues that could affect the safe operation of a vehicle. If required, the driver should fill out a vehicle inspection report after every day of driving. They should make note of any issues that could affect the safety of the vehicle or that could lead to a mechanical breakdown.
When checking the oil pressure gauge as part of a vehicle inspection test, you must ensure that it is working. The gauge should show increasing or normal oil pressure, or the oil pressure warning light should turn off. If equipped with one, the oil temperature gauge should begin a gradual rise to the normal operating range.
An air brake system's safety relief valve is located in the tank that is first to receive air from the compressor.
Potential problems to check for when inspecting brakes include cracked drums; shoes or pads with oil, grease, or brake fluid on them; and shoes that are missing, broken, or worn dangerously thin.
Texting while driving is even more dangerous than speaking on a phone while driving. In addition to being mentally distracting, texting is also physically distracting.
If you are asked to alley dock, you should first pull past the alley and stop your vehicle in a position that is parallel to the outer boundary. From there, you should back your vehicle entirely into the alley parking area. Your vehicle should be parked in a straight position within the boundaries of the parking space.
When inspecting a vehicle's brakes, you should make sure the shoes and pads do not have oil, grease, or brake fluid on them.
