Audio Books on the Road

Image001

Having a truck driving job is a very rewarding experience. You get paid to travel the country, meet a wide variety of people and drive a really big truck. However, a truck driving job can get lonely. Driving hour after hour with nothing but the roar of your engine to keep you company can get wearing after a while. Even the musical talents of your radio can become monotonous and the longing to actually hear someone talking makes you realize how alone you really are. 

At times like this, when you feel like you are going crazy, the solution is simple: listen to a book. Really, listen to a book. You’ll be surprised at the difference it makes. When listening to a book, not only are you hearing the calming sound of a human voice speaking to you, but you are also being delightfully distracted by a story. Even as adults, most people enjoy being told a good story. The stimulation of your mind to create the scenes told in a story can also help you wake up a bit of you are feeling drowsy.

As a story unfolds, the characters will join you in the cab of your truck and you will likewise join them in their adventures. They can become your friends on the road, your companions through the long stretches of nothing but deserts or open fields. You may be surprised at how quickly you get involved with the story.

For those drivers who do not like story books, but prefer something a little more academic, there are plenty of text books or self-help books that have been recorded as well. Listening to one of these books can relieve your feeling of solitude by turning your thoughts inward, or toward the noble pursuit of knowledge. Having a truck driving job doesn’t have to mean being lonely anymore. You can have company on the road with you whenever you want, all you need to do is listen.

Safety First: Truck Stops

Image001

Truck stops are a vital part of any truck driving job. Whether you use them for overnight parking or for simply filling your tank, every truck driver has to pass through a truck stop at some point. That being said, there are some truck stops where it is better to stop at and some where all you want to do is drive past as fast as you can. But how are you supposed to know if a truck stop is good or not? In this article you will find a few suggestions on how you can tell if a truck stop is truly one where you should stop or not.

There are a few ways to tell at first sight whether a truck stop is preferable. One thing to look for is lighting. Are there a lot of dark areas in the parking lot or is the area pretty well lit. Usually, if the area is well lit you are pretty safe. Another thing to look at is the people walking around the truck stop. Do they look like people who should be there, people like truck drivers or truck stop staff? If you see a lot of questionable people walking around the parking lot then you might want to see if there is anywhere else you can make it to. You can also check out the area surrounding the truck stop. Check if the area seems clean or if it seems like it might be a problem area.

Another thing you might want to consider when looking at truck stops is maneuverability. Are the parking spaces large enough for your truck and are the aisled wide enough for you to maneuver safely? If you are in too tight a space it may increase the risk of an accident.

Some other ways you may be able to make sure you are stopping at a decent truck stop is by asking around. Try finding a truck driver that has been around long enough to know about different places, he may be willing to give you advice. If you stop at a truck stop and find that it is a bad area, try to see if there are any others close by that you could go to.

It is true that sometimes you don’t have the choice to stop or not, when you are out of hours you are out of hours. If this is the case then just be sure to take precautions to make sure both you and your truck are as safe as possible. Be wary of knocks on your door during the night and take a notice of your surroundings.

Truck driving safety does not stop once your truck does. You always need to be practicing safe habits. Remember that safety is always worth a little bit of extra effort.
