When you are driving a truck for transporting the goods, and a sudden breakdown situation occurs, there comes the need for Truck Roadside Assistance. But, by following certain tips and tricks you can avoid falling prey to these unwanted situations while driving.
All you need to do before starting your journey is to properly inspect your truck, for instance. So, what should be done for the same? Here is your ultimate guide that will help you to maintain your truck before going out for transporting the goods.
-
Analyze The Tires
The first and foremost thing is to check the tires of your truck properly. As this is the most important part of your truck, and without this, the truck can not move on the road. Sometimes, the tires are in an underinflated condition which means the tires can have high or low pressure, alignment problems, or flats that can cost you money as well as time. Because you know that a tire blowout while driving can be so dangerous. So, to keep an arm’s length from such kinds of circumstances, an inspection must be done.
-
Test The Brakes
After inspection of your truck’s tires, the next thing to check properly is the brakes. Because you are going to carry a loaded truck and when you will stop the truck for a while, it needs to stop the truck safely. You can hear the screeching noises from the brakes of your truck which will clarify to you that the brakes are needed to repair. You can lift the truck 6” above the ground, remove the tire, and lay under that place which gives a clear view to you to check the brakes.
-
Look Over The Fluids
If you have to drive for long miles then you should check the fluids from time to time or should change them. You must check the truck fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, etc. on a daily basis to ensure the proper functioning and maintenance of the truck.
-
Inspect Wires & Cables
The electrical system of the truck should be maintained properly. Check accurately all the wires and cables of each part of your truck such as the truck's battery, steering wheel, headlight, etc. Ensure that while checking all the electrical things they are working properly, and if any defect is seen, get Mobile Transport Service also known as mobile PM service, right at that spot. So, you do not have to face any difficulty or hindrance in between your route.
-
Inspect Gearbox
For checking the gearbox, you need to do a thing which is check the heating level of the gearbox. If the gearbox has a high heating level then you should repair or change it. The oil of the gearbox should also be inspected. You should do the inspection task of this part on the basis of the hours. Not only checking, if needed then the change of oil must be done.
-
Analyze The Clutch
The clutch is used for transferring the power from the engine to the gearbox, so it should be repaired immediately without any ignorance. When the clutch of the truck starts sticking or slipping then it must be needed to change because the disc and the flywheel may have loosened the contact which causes slipping of the clutch.
-
Examine the Cooling System
Inspect the cooling system of your truck and the reefer as well. The reefer should work properly to maintain the lifespan of produced goods till their destination. Moreover, during summertime when you are going out to transport the goods, you need cool air to keep you driving the truck. So, ensure the accurate working of the air conditioner of your truck.
-
Check the Lights of Your Truck
An improper lighting system in the truck can also lead you to risks that may happen on the road especially when you drive the truck during night shifts. The headlights, and interior lights all should work properly. Thus, always make sure to check the lights of your truck before beginning your journey as this will keep you safe from any kind of risks that may take place on the road while driving.
-
Avoid Distractions While Driving
When proper inspection of each part of the truck is done before starting your route, the next thing you must do is to keep yourself focused on the road. If possible then avoid little distractions while driving such as talking or chatting on the phone, seeing the right and left sides of the road instead of looking straight.
-
Avoid Driving Continuously
When you work continuously without taking any break, you may get tired and irritated or have no energy left to keep working on something. Similarly, the truck can not be driven continuously. If you need a break from other work then why not in driving? Thus, it is your duty to park your truck in a parking space to get some rest so that you can feel refreshed and your truck also can continue its journey without any obstruction thereafter. At Brar Trucking Inc. we provide you with the monthly parking space facility, where you can also get some rest in the truck.
