Good driving isn’t just about skill — it’s about respect. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a big rig or a pickup, driving polite makes the road safer for everyone.
First, use your blinker. It’s not just a suggestion — it’s the law. Turning or changing lanes without a signal can confuse others and cause accidents.
Second, don’t follow too close. Leave space between you and the vehicle ahead. Tailgating doesn’t get you there faster — it just raises stress and danger.
Third, keep calm on the CB. It’s easy to get annoyed, but arguing or yelling on the radio doesn’t help. Stay professional. We’re all trying to do the same job.
And finally, just be a good human out there. Let people merge, wave thanks when someone helps you, and remember that a little kindness goes a long way.
We all share the road. Let’s make it a place of respect, safety, and professionalism
