A PSA for all couriers and delivery drivers out there, to stay safe! 💪 With staggering statistics such as the below, it is crucial to be vigilant when on the road and conducting deliveries, as the unexpected could happen at any time. Whilst professional drivers can be some of the most experienced on the road, it only takes one wrong decision - from any road user - for an accident to happen. Having the correct training, being alert, vehicle management, obeying the road rules, driving to the conditions, fatigue management, knowing your route and driving with headlights on, are all important factors when driving a rural route. For those contracted to a courier company, always follow the policies and procedures in place! 📑
Rural Road Safety Month: Despite being less populated, deaths on rural and remote roads accounted for 64% of the 2023 road toll. The most common dangerous behaviours that have contributed to this toll include speeding, driving fatigued and being distracted by devices. Drivers are reminded to be patient around heavy vehicles, take regular breaks and stay vigilant on the road. Share this information to increase awareness about rural road safety. Be a part of the change. Road safety starts with you. #ruralroads #roadsafety #centurion #transport #ruralroadsafetymonth

When you encounter a traffic light that isn't working, it's crucial to treat the intersection as a 4-way stop. This simple step can save lives, including yours! Here’s what you need to do: 🔴 Approach with Caution: • Stop Completely: Come to a full stop at the intersection. • Look in All Directions: Check for oncoming traffic and any vehicles that might not be stopping. • Watch for Turns: Be alert for vehicles in turning lanes that could cross your path. • Check for Pedestrians: Look out for people walking through the intersection. • Scan for Hazards: Downed or low-hanging power lines can be extremely dangerous. ⚠️ Safety First: • Downed Power Lines: If you see any, turn around and do not drive over them. • Entangled in Power Lines: Stay in your vehicle and call 911. Only leave if you're in immediate danger and remember to jump away from your vehicle without touching it and the ground at the same time. ✅ Proceed Safely: • Ensure all traffic has stopped and the way is clear before moving through the intersection. • Keep watching for any vehicles that might not be following the rules. Remember, you might have the right of way, but safety is paramount. Let’s keep our roads safe for everyone! #TrafficSafety #DriveSmart #StayAlert #RoadSafetyTips #HarrisCounty

A friendly reminder to check your mirrors every 8-10 seconds to be aware of vehicles entering your blind spots. 🚚 Don't forget to scan ahead on the road for about 15 seconds (equating to a quarter mile on interstates, or one to two blocks in cities) for traffic issues, work zones, and other dangers! Stay safe and drive cautiously. 🚚 Follow us for more safety tips. #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth #truckingbusiness #truckinginsurance #TranstarBrokers #TranstarInsurance #truckingfleet
