You spend a lot of your professional life driving. Unfortunately, distracted driving creates dangerous conditions for everyone on the road, including you. However, by understanding those distractions, the consistent use of best practices for distraction-free driving, and support from trucking companies, you will be safer and can help prevent accidents.
Summer months might bring hotter temperatures, more traffic, and an increase in construction, but it also means time to get out and enjoy what the season has to offer. You work year-round, bringing goods and commodities to businesses and consumers all over the United States. It makes sense to want to know some ideal destinations for the summer months to enjoy some downtime while you are on the road.
Keeping a relationship in its sizzling state is always a challenge for married couples. It is even more difficult for truckers like you, who need to be parted from their spouses for an elongated amount of time. To ease the pain brought about by being miles apart, you and your spouse need to work together. It is helpful to find effective and even creative ways to show your love for each other.
You had a long day, a long drive. A hundred or so miles to go and you’re done. First, it’s time for your much-awaited break. While you certainly can’t watch movies or shows while on the road, now is the perfect time to catch up on what’s streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or whatever streaming service is your favorite.
Driving your truck for long periods is not always easy. To help you manage the monotony on the road, get some fresh air and move around. Stop by some of the most interesting attractions along the way and do a little exploring. You can visit a reptile park in Colorado, a dinosaur exhibit overlooking California desert, or the unique Carhenge (Stonehenge made of cars) in Nebraska.
Driving across the country is quite a treat. FCC drivers get to experience the culture and distinct flavors of nearly every state. From the Deep South to the Pacific Northwest and everything in between, there is always something to see.
