Haul road courtesy is essential for maintaining safety and efficiency on rural roads where large trucks are frequently in use. Drivers of log trucks should always be aware of other road users and practice patience, especially on narrow, winding roads. Slowing down when passing other vehicles, using hazard lights to signal intentions, and pulling over when safe to allow other vehicles to pass helps avoid accidents.
Courtesy also includes keeping a safe distance from other trucks and driving defensively to account for potential hazards. Respecting these practices ensures a safer, more cooperative road environment for everyone.
