Truck Driver Safety Tips | Truck Driver Staffing

Truck drivers have an important job. Without them so many of the goods and services we depend upon would be completely out of reach. But with this responsibility, comes stress and potential dangers. Here are a few tips that can help truckers stay safe on the roads:

1. GET SUFFICIENT SLEEP: Being well rested is one of the single most important factors in truck driver safety.  Tired drivers are much more susceptible to having an accident on the road, as both attentiveness and reaction times are reduced when you are tired.

2. KEEP A PROPER CUSHION OF SPACE: Be aware at all times of how much space there is between your truck and any other vehicles or objects.  You must be sure to keep a sufficient cushion of space both on and off the road.

3. STAY ON TOP OF TRUCK MAINTENANCE: A well maintained truck is a safer truck.  Tire pressure, oil and fluid levels, and brakes are just some of the important parts of your truck that need to be maintained at all times. 

A good truck driver will always put safety first.  When we hire drivers we screen them diligently to ensure that they are well versed and practice safe driving every time they hit the road.  Our truck driver staffing services are very dependable, as we look for the very best truckers in the industry. Contact us to learn how we can help you find safe truckers to carry your loads or to find employment if you are a qualified CDL truck driver looking for work.

How Is The Truck Driver Shortage Affecting You? | Truck Driver Staffing

Swift Transportation, the largest truckload carrier in North America, has helped to shine some light on a growing issue of concern – the truck driver shortage in the U.S.  After they announced that they would have to address their very real driver shortage, their stock fell 14%.  This market reaction goes to show how serious this issue is. So what does this shortage mean for trucking companies and for truck drivers?

As Swift Transportation alluded, investing in drivers is the optimal solution.  To attract qualified truck drivers long-term they have to feel financially secure and confident they will be appreciated by their employer.  Still, many trucking firms have found it difficult to create the ideal environment and to attract the type of experienced drivers they really need to be successful.  Utilizing professional and effective staffing and recruitment services, may be just what the trucking industry needs to bridge this gap.

Truck drivers are also affected by the shortage too. The upside is that they are in demand, but the downside is that their job may become too demanding if their employer is understaffed.  Finding the right blend of compensation and reasonable workload can be challenging for many drivers. Truck drivers staffing agencies can often help truck drivers find an employer who will meet all of their needs.

If you need to find out more about how a truck driver staffing and recruitment agency like ours can help you during this driver shortage, contact us today.
