Remember just because your truck starts without any hiccups, doesn’t mean all is well. Follow pre-trip safety inspections to the tee and make sure tyres and brakes are in good condition before you hit the road. Stay on top of maintenance! #RoadSafetyFriday

#DYK Behind the wheel is a great vantage point, and truck drivers see it all. Always having a story to tell is one of the benefits that aren’t usually listed in the job description.
Not only is it careless, but it is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving. Talking, texting or looking at your phone screen is distracting and can lead to a serious accident. #theRoadSafetyFriday
As a truck owner, it is crucial that if you want to expand your business saving money to buy another truck is better then taking a loan which will cost more because of interest.

When preparing for a long-distance trip, you need to start by mapping out the way forward. Do some research about the speed limits, a number of lanes, distance from one fill-up point to the next, local weather conditions, and if there is any road construction. #RoadSafetyFriday
#COVID19 is not just a statistic, just because you haven't heard of a case of someone close to you doesn't mean you need to be negligent, take precautions measures so you do not become part of the statistic. @SA_Taxis@the_smme@MbalulaFikile@Dotransport
