6. Always Keep Your Tanks As Full As Possible
The experienced drivers know everything that need to be known about truck driving in winter; they know this tip very well, but the one that are new in this should know that the truck tanks should always be full.
Well now, even half full tank is ok, but just don’t leave them empty, because you are risking having condensations within the lines and they can freeze. So, keep the fuel level at least half full and that way you will prevent that from happening.
You should make pre-trip inspection before every trip, and somewhere down the road as well, so checking the fuel tanks levels should be the first think on your checklist!
7. Watch Your Speed, Better To Drive A Little Slow Than Too Fast
Its all ok to drive fester (still fallowing the speed limits of course) when is normal weather conditions, but truck driving in winter does not allow you to do that! So with that in mind, watch your speed, better to drive a little slow, then too fast!
I know what I am saying here is a common sense but I also know that so many drivers get tickets driving over the speed limits in winter, so it’s a tossup! You just simply cannot and should not drive the same speed on snow and ice, as you would drive if the roads were dry!
