In this way, you will be able to do everything on time and get what you want eventually. If you make a strategy on time, you will be able to achieve your goal.
4. Schedule Time for Communication
Truckers are constantly on the road. They have to deal with shipments, obey the hours of service (HOS), respect the SAFER regulations, communicate with dispatchers and get GPS Tracker route updates.
As you can see, these are a lot of obligations for only one person to handle.
Saying this, they have less or hardly enough time to communicate with their families.
However, you do not have to lose hope since there is a way to make truckers Christmas better.
To put it in another way, OTR truck drivers could actually schedule time for communication.
You are probably wondering “How am I supposed to do that?”
As an illustration, you can do that according to the following plan:
- Ask to get paid per mile
If you are an OTR driver, you can ask your boss to get paid per mile. In this way, you will have enough time to get rest and communicate with your family. Moreover, you will avoid the exhausting 70-hour rule for driving in an 8th day period and successfully cope with the HOS.
- Define your driving hours
In trucking, when drivers are paid per mile, they can drive in that time of the day which most suits them only if they provide on-time delivery.
