As one of the UK’s leading online freight exchange companies, Haulage Exchange draws from its extensive experience in helping thousands upon thousands of hauliers and clients do profitable business together. But the business operations of a typical haulier are often fraught with risks and a tendency to lose sight of the long-term goal. For such reasons, Haulage Exchange advises those who take on delivery work to always remember certain important things in conducting their daily business.
For starters, hauliers should learn to adopt all the tools that can help their drivers have optimum visibility on the road, from equipping the vehicle with headlights of the proper power rating to installing a state-of-the-art (yet affordable) on-board GPS navigation system. As long as drivers are unhindered by faulty road visibility, they need little else to accomplish their delivery work.
Haulage Exchange also reminds those in the haulage industry that often, the simplest adherence to best practices is what is needed. For instance, always ensuring that the haulage vehicle has a clean windshield, both inside and out, can have a significant impact on the driver’s disposition and carrying extra windshield washer fluid is always necessary. Bringing two sets of sunglasses, one for bright sunshiny days and another for low-light road conditions can also have a significant positive impact on the driver’s ability to see clearly as less eye strain equals better on-the-road performance.
And most importantly, says Haulage Exchange, those that take on delivery work as their bread and butter should always assume that not everyone on the road with them is as disciplined and highly alert as they are. Always allow for the possibility that the other drivers on the road may not be as skilled and this means that the haulier must always practice the best driving etiquette and, as much as possible, keep the suspicious drivers out of their safe trucking zone.
