As a CDL driver wanted at Pavlich, getting your truck prepared for winter is essential in order to prevent major problems, such as checking the tire pressure, engine oil, and antifreeze levels before you head out. Our mechanics are available to inspect your vehicle to make sure it’s ready to withstand the harsh weather, as well.
In addition, you’ll be responsible for loading up on supplies for both you and the truck. If you are going on an extended trip, take a flashlight, flares, shovel, traction devices, a bag of sand, and matches. You’ll also need to pack plenty of warm clothes and blankets, and it’s a good idea to make sure you have bottles of water and snacks, as well. Last but not least, be sure to take a mobile phone with numbers programmed in, such as roadside assistance, to call for help if you get stuck or run into trouble on the road.
Even the most experienced truckers can have a hard time managing icy roads. Combined with poor visibility and reduced traction, the job of a CDL driver handling a big rig can be extremely challenging.
