And if you are voiced to stop suddenly all that weight will still have the forward momentum. Think if a tissue box can fly across the cab; just imagine the force that is pulling on the rest of your truck. So don’t forget, excessive acceleration really can tear off a truck, more than calm steady driving.
Driver Safety Rating Could Be Damaged Due to Excessive Acceleration
Now I touched on this one already, but then I got to thinking, some points need to be driven home. I can’t stress to you the importance of maintain a proper safety rating. But if you are the type that thinks excessive acceleration is the right way to operate perhaps you in the wrong industry.
If you get a bad safety rating you could lose your job over it. It could cost your company contracts, and could hurt the other drivers who work for the company, as now they can’t get trips. Further, it will affect your insurance rates, if you get ticketed.
