Click logo above for more information about our safety campaign. Trucks take longer to brake than cars and therefore often leave themselves a cushion to allow space to stop. That space is not an invitation to cut in. Doing so only diminishes the truck driver s cushion of safety. Don t linger.
Blind spots are all around the vehicle.
Try to avoid driving on the left side between the cab and trailer, on the right beside the cab, on the right between the cab and the trailer. Don t tailgate. If you are behind a truck and you can t see the truck s mirrors, then you re too close. The truck driver can t see you. Merging on interstates and freeways.
