TOP 3 THINGS EVERY TRUCK DRIVER WISH YOU KNEW

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 23:09:07 GMT

There are at least 100 things every professional truck driver on the roadways wish you knew. Today, we share the top 3 with you.

Trucking is the engine that keeps America's goods moving around our nation and the continent. Your safety, the safety of the goods you enjoy, and our professional driver's safety is of the utmost importance to all of us. In case you have never had a chance to get the real scoop on the challenges and joys of driving a BIG TRUCK, here is your inside look.

1. WE CAN SEE YOU...TEXTING & DRIVING

Yes, you would be amazed to know just how many drivers on the roadways are looking down at their phones. We've all seen the commercials and the billboards reminding us how unsafe it is text and drive. Let's work together to keep our eyes on the road when traveling. This is important for commercial and personal drivers alike.

2. WE CANNOT SEE YOU...IN THE BLIND SPOTS

There are many types of trailers pulled by professional drivers, tankers, dry vans, reefers, car haulers, and more. You've probably seen the stickers on the back of the trailers called dry vans that say "if you can't see my mirrors, then I can't see you." This is a reminder to the average driver that there are many blind spots for commercial vehicles. Remember the last time you rented a U-Haul? Now times the blind spots by 3. Please give space to commercial vehicles and pass with room.

3. WE CAN SEE YOU...STEALING OUR PARKING SPOTS

Commercial transportation is federally regulated. Drivers are limited in the number of hours they can drive and the amount of breaks they need to take during the day. When RVs and motor homes use spaces designated for commercial vehicles at the truck stops and rest areas, this means many drivers have to park in areas not designated for them. The result is often less rest, a ticket or fine, or even missing a meal if the parking the driver finds is not close to a safe place to park for food. We know you care about the nation's commercial drivers. Thank you for leaving for room for us.

Safety, yours and ours, is our top priority at Momentum Transportation. To learn more about blinds spots, check out Truck’s Eye View Program hosted in 2011. When we work together, we can see life from other point's of view, literally.

Here are some reasons to make blogging part of your regular routine.

Blogging is an easy way to engage with site visitors

Writing a blog post is easy once you get the hang of it. Posts don’t need to be long or complicated. Just write about what you know, and do your best to write well.

Show customers your personality

When you write a blog post, you can really let your personality shine through. This can be a great tool for showing your distinct personality.

Blogging is a terrific form of communication

Blogs are a great communication tool. They tend to be longer than social media posts, which gives you plenty of space for sharing insights, handy tips and more.

It’s a great way to support and boost SEO

Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content, and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.

Drive traffic to your site

Every time you add a new post, people who have subscribed to it will have a reason to come back to your site. If the post is a good read, they’ll share it with others, bringing even more traffic!

Blogging is free

Maintaining a blog on your site is absolutely free. You can hire bloggers if you like or assign regularly blogging tasks to everyone in your company.

A natural way to build your brand

A blog is a wonderful way to build your brand’s distinct voice. Write about issues that are related to your industry and your customers.

Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
