Life on the road – Truck Driving Essentials

Life on the road can be great fun and a brilliant way to live your life but like everything else, there will be down points and problems to overcome. You can help to make life easier for yourself by having a number of truck driving essentials with you at all times. Bear in mind though, you outlook on life and the importance of being comfortable may mean you have a different take on what is essential in compared to other drivers.

Licence and insurance

The most essential items for any truck driver is going to be their Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver’s Licence and proper truck insurance should be a necessity too. It may be that your employer takes care of that but you need to be able to prove your credentials and be covered at all times.

Stay safe at all times

After this, staying on the road and staying safe should be your top priorities. Even if you drive a high quality truck, such as the Mercedes trucks from www.trucklocator.co.uk you will want to have basic tools on hand in case any minor problems arise. If a bigger problem arises and you need to get out of the truck and wait for support, you will want some safety items. This can include a Hi-Vis vest and other reflective products to make sure that you and your truck are well seen. Protective clothing like working boots or insulated jackets can also provide heat and comfort at these times.

Be comfortable

Many truck drivers will consider their comfort to be amongst the most essential of items they need, so you should consider this too. Whether it is having proper blanket and pillows to get a good night’s rest or having a cooler or refrigerator to keep your food cool, your comfort will depend on your own needs and viewpoints.

However, being comfortable while driving is important, especially when you think about the length of time you will be on the road. A good and reliable seating system can help to minimise the risk you face and air inflated cushions can help. There are a number of comfort seating systems available and if driving comfortable is crucial for you, make sure you add to your truck sensibly.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.
