It is vital that members of moving companies are recognized for their hard work and dedication to the industry. For this reason, there are awards presented by AMSA at the Super Van Operators awards ceremony. Some categories are tough and the drivers have to get through many hurdles before winning. They take into account the amount of accidents they have been involved in, any violations they have received while on the road. This is all to determine the best commercial drivers in the moving industry across America.
Some of the advice from the winners include:
- Checking your vehicle before travel, including underneath the vehicle to ensure the brakes are working and nothing is hanging down.
- Make sure you are aware of the items you are carrying and any restrictions you might need to be aware of.
- A clean truck not only shows professionalism but it can highlight any damage.
- Check the engine before you leave.
- Check the weather conditions where you are going.
- Take your time as this can prevent accidents.
- Ensure you have an adequate GPS system that can highlight any problems on the road ahead.
- Listen to other commercial drivers because they have a wealth of information and might be able to forewarn you of any potential problems ahead.
It is possible to have a safe commercial driving career. Clocking up many miles behind the wheel is not a job for everyone and those people who do this every day do need recognition for their skills and abilities. Passing on good driving skills is key to the future of any business and this is the attitude that must prevail. A team member who not only spends long hours away from home, but also faces potential danger every working day, deserves recognition.
Therefore, it is important that these commercial drivers are recognized for their hard work and determination in a very difficult and demanding job.
