| Article Title :: Used Pickup Trucks are Very Useful in Today's Society |
| |
| Used pickup trucks are great for manual labor. While cars are limited in space and capability, used pickup trucks have the needed work space and are great to haul large objects and big equipment. Plus, used pickup trucks have truck beds that are built to endure the weight of heavy objects.Used pickup trucks are also more practical for most people.

| Article Title :: Car and Trucks Don't Always Mix |
| |
| Truckers often complain about the four-wheelers. That is you and I in our personal automobiles. Trucking accidents were down in 2004 by the number of miles driven per accident. However they were slightly up as 11% more trucks are on the road because the economy picked up and more products had to be delivered to the consumer, that’s us too.This is a huge issue of cars mixing with truck traffic and it has been studied to death. Probably due to the deaths, which can result. I can tell you having driven some 500,000 miles around the country in a 72 Foot Indy Car Truck and Trailer that when you are on the open highway and you separate the speeds of cars and trucks by too much for exam (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Understanding Stopping Distances in Work Trucks |

This is great, but it will still take longer to stop your work vehicle than a normal car and of course, don’t forget reaction time. Cars don’t stop by themselves yet. Neither does your truck.A driver’s reaction time is approximately three-fourths of a second. This time must be transferred to feet and added to your miles per hour. To do this, take the first digit of the speedometer (read full article) |

| |
| When driving as work truck you must be aware that stopping distances are much greater than when driving an automobile. At the Departments of Vehicles in most States, they recommend the two second rule. Use a two second following distance in good driving conditions. Watch the vehicle ahead of you pass a specific mark: a phone pole, a mile marker, a fence post, any marker that is stationary. When the rear bumper of that vehicle has passed that marker, being counting to yourself: “One thousand and one, one thousand and two.” If your front bumper reaches the marker before you finish counting, you are following too closely.We at veterans of the transportation industry recommend two (read full article) |
