It’s not a job for everyone, being alone out on the road all day every day, but there are things you can do to make it less taxing on your mind and body. One of the main concerns within this industry is staying alert, so here are some things you should know before rolling out. These are tips from long-haul truckers for anyone looking to spend some time on the road.
- Make a travel plan – Don’t just punch in your destination and go, plan some stops along the way. Make sure you know where rest areas are, find some interesting and truck-friendly places to eat, and look for parks along the roads where people can take walks.
- Have a food and rest schedule – If you are driving for so many hours a day, you should eat properly, rest often, and hydrate extensively. Dehydration leads to dizzy spells and tiredness.
- See what’s out there in the world – To avoid boredom, take a look at your surroundings while keeping an eye on the road. Look for animals, see what’s behind you, notice car colors, anything to keep your mind occupied.
