How to Stay Safe on the Road With a Truck Plow

Truck plows are a useful piece of equipment for those who live in a region that frequently experiences heavy snowfall. However, it’s important to follow certain key safety guidelines when it comes to sharing the road with truck plows. If you or your neighbors frequently utilize truck plows, use these tips from Triumph Trailer Sales to keep yourself and others safe.
 

Operator Tips

If you’re about to go out and use your truck plow, it’s important that you bundle up first. The warmer and more comfortable you are, the easier it will be to maintain focus and the less likely it will be that you make a mistake. It’s also important that you follow basic safety practices for driving in the snow. This means increasing your following distance and traveling a little slower to account for slippery roads. We also recommend turning on your lights so that others have an easier time seeing you coming.
 

Motorist Tips

Sharing the road with a motorist who is using a truck plow can be a bit difficult, especially if you yourself are currently using a truck plow. This is because truck plows are usually slightly wider than the truck to which they are attached. When encountering someone who is using a truck plow, slow down and give them extra space to create a safety cushion. If you’re on a street that doesn’t have a lot of extra room, consider pulling over so that the other truck can pass you.
