Driving a pickup can be a different experience from driving a regular car or even different from driving an SUV. Therefore, it is important that you have some safety tips when getting behind the wheel if you are not used to driving them.

Weight:

Trucks are heavier and larger than regular cars, and this means braking will be different. Drivers must leave plenty of time to stop after applying the brake more so than a regular, smaller car.

If you don’t brake in enough time, you could easily stop in the middle of an intersection at a red light.

Apply the brake when you should—doing otherwise could cause you to rear-end someone, and large trucks do considerable damage to their smaller vehicle relatives.

Practice:

If you don’t have a lot of experience behind the wheel of a pickup truck, consider a refresher course in driver’s school.

This familiarizes you with how the vehicle drives, the required stopping distance, and the best parking practices.

While smaller vehicles turn easier and fit into tighter places, you should make sure you know where your truck will fit.

Blind Spots:

Be sure to adjust your rearview and side-view mirrors to the best positions so you can be aware of what is around you.

Larger vehicles have larger blind spots, so be sure to look around as much as you can and signal properly before you change lanes.

Reversing:

Another issue involving large blind spots, practice makes perfect in this case as well.

It’s easy to miss obstacles behind you when backing up a large truck, so move slowly and always monitor your progress.

Turning:

There is a huge difference between turning in a truck and turning in a car because trucks are larger and need a wider berth.

Semi-trucks are required to be in the lane opposite of the turn because of that wide berth they need.

The same concept applies to regular trucks—they can’t turn on a dime exactly as a sedan can.

Pick-up trucks are versatile vehicles. They can easily be used for day-to-day errands and running around town, but they are also great for work because of the amount of equipment they can accommodate in the back.

These powerful, heavy-duty vehicles help us haul, tow, and get us where we need to be. But some important safety tips should be observed.

Don’t Overload

One of the biggest advantages of owning a truck is the hauling capacity you get. But if you overload the truck, it can threaten your suspension and your engine.

Make sure you are clear about the load capacity of the truck, and never go over it.

Overloading the truck can also impact the handling of the truck, which can impair your response time on the road.

No passenger in the back of the cab

We’ve all seen images of pick-up trucks traveling down a country road with people – often kids – blissfully riding along in the back.

But it’s time to put an end to this dangerous and illegal behavior. Seatbelts and airbags have been placed in modern vehicles for a reason – to protect the driver and passengers in case of an accident.

The back of a pick-up truck offers no such protection. Even a minor collision or large pothole can toss a person out of the back of the truck, causing injury or putting them into the path of another vehicle.

Tools and equipment

It’s vitally important that you take the time to secure everything inside your truck properly.

That’s why tools and equipment offer so many solutions including truck racks, side and rear bars, tool racks, etc.

Find the product that best suits your needs and incorporate it into your daily safety routine.

At best, tools and other equipment might rattle around potentially becoming damaged or causing damage to your truck.

At worst, an item could fly out of the truck causing injury or death to another driver or bystander.

Watch out for blind spots

For drivers who operate heavy loads, being in such a large truck that’s so high off the ground can make it difficult to see cars behind or even next to their vehicle.

A blind spot is an area around a vehicle that cannot be directly seen by a driver.

Most of these accidents occur when drivers are changing lanes make sure you’re encouraging drivers to look over their shoulders and out the windows when changing lanes.
