Working in a truck yard requires extra caution to keep everyone safe. One important rule is to keep your speed at 5 mph or slower. Going too fast can lead to accidents or make it harder to stop quickly if something unexpected happens.
Always be on the lookout for pedestrians or other vehicles moving through the yard. People walking or working near trucks may not always be visible, so slow down when you’re driving near them.
Here are a few more tips to stay safe:
- Use your horn when needed to alert others of your presence.
- Watch for obstacles like trailers, pallets, or debris that could get in your way.
- Make sure the area is clear before backing up or turning.
By following these tips, you can keep the truck yard safe for everyone working there. Stay slow, stay alert, and be aware of your surroundings!
