Though drivers often sleep in their truck, try not to park in the darkest parts of the lot. If possible park closer to the main areas where it is less likely for someone to behave suspiciously, for fear of getting caught.
If someone has tampered with your vehicle be careful. Follow your company’s policy regarding theft. But if you have missing cargo it must be reported immediately. Don’t wait until you are at the customer’s location to report it.
No meter what you are carrying, which type is your load and how good the cargo is packed and protected back from your start point, you should always take care of the load on your own way.
Once the freight is in your hands you have equal responsibility like and the rest in the chain people involved.
Manage the fall hazard when loading and unloading
Remember safety first. There are many issues that concern both drivers and businesses. Though road hazards might seem to be the main concern, they are but one of many. The loading bay can be a very hazardous place especially when wet and/or icy. Though safety measures should be in place, and training standards are higher today than in the past, caution must always be observed.
