Hot summer has arrived. What should we pay attention to truck trailer transportation?

2018-07-26

The most difficult season of the year is not summer. For drivers, they should not only bear the hot weather outside, but also pay attention to driving safety. So, in order to reduce the hidden dangers of driving safety, what aspects should we pay attention to when driving in the summer?


First, the opening time of the air conditioner should not be too long

Nowadays, air conditioners are installed on every truck, and air conditioning can provide drivers with cooler driving conditions. However, in order to make the air-conditioning better cooling effect, it is necessary to close the doors and windows for a long time. Therefore, a long closed cab will save the carbon dioxide emitted by the body, while the oxygen content in the cab will also decrease. If the driver stays in the environment for a long time, he will be dizzy and sleepy due to lack of oxygen, which will cause a traffic accident. Therefore, whether it is winter or summer, the cab should be ventilated at irregular intervals, reducing indoor carbon dioxide and enhancing air circulation.


Second, the temperature setting of air conditioning should not be too low

Because of the nature of the profession, many drivers have got cervical spondylosis and lumbar disease. If the air conditioning temperature is too low or the air conditioning wind is straight, it will result in the aggravation of the disease. For example, the low temperature of the cab will cause the contraction of the pores in the neck, which leads to the flow of Qi and blood around the neck, thus causing muscle spasm and edema in the neck, which will aggravate the symptoms of cervical spondylosis, which we often call "cold and wind". Therefore, the driver should set the air-conditioning temperature above 25 degrees to protect personal health.


Third. Add electrolyte to the battery in time

Because the weather is hot in summer, it will cause evaporation of water in the electrolyte faster. Therefore, in summer, we should often check the level of the electrolyte liquid level in the battery and add electrolyte to the battery in time in order to keep the battery in good working condition.


Fourth. Pay more attention to driving in towns and suburbs in the evening.

By the time the sun went down, the temperature outside began to drop. Many people chose to go out for a walk before the night had come. So, in the evening, there are a lot of people in the villages and the roads on the outskirts of the town, plus these roads are usually less traffic lights and less traffic, and if the speed is too fast, it is easy to have traffic accidents. Therefore, when driving on such a road, the vehicle should slow down, pay attention to pedestrians, and observe more frequently when crossing the road.


Fifth. Do not put explosives in the cab

Lighter as a tool for lighting cigarettes, although it provides convenience for smokers, gas lighters are prone to explosions when they encounter high temperatures. If vehicles are parked in the scorching sun, avoid placing them in the driver's cab or place them in direct sunlight, otherwise the consequences will be unthinkable. Some carbonated canned drinks will also blow up after high temperature, such as Sprite and Coca-Cola, and you can choose a car refrigerator to keep it in cold storage.


Sixth. Monitoring the status of fetal pressure in time

Summer is the season of high incidence of tire bursts. In order to enable the vehicles to run safely, we should control tire pressure within a reasonable range. If the tire pressure is too low, the ground area of the tire will increase, which causes the friction between the tread and the pavement to increase, and the possibility of the tire burst will be induced once the tire temperature rises. If the tire pressure is too high, thermal expansion and cold contraction will occur, which will cause air expansion inside the tire and tire burst. Therefore, the tire pressure is too low or the tire pressure is too high, can cause the vehicle in the course of the process of tire and can not be redeem consequences, we should always monitor tire pressure, in order to ensure the safety of the body.


Seventh. The speed of driving in rainy days should be reduced

Summer is a season of frequent rain, and vehicles are bound to run on rainwater roads. If vehicles run on rainwater roads, they must avoid speeding or blindly wading. Because rain is attached to the surface of the road, the friction between the tire and the road will decrease and the vehicle will slip easily. Therefore, when driving on rainy days, we should pay attention to reducing the speed and increasing the distance from the front car. Do not wade blindly when driving on a water filled road.

Summer has come, in the process of driving, in addition to the above 7 points, we should pay attention to not fatigue driving, reduce vehicle fuel storage and check the performance of vehicles regularly, so as to complete the transport of goods smoothly.
