Driving the truck in winter (I) Chains and load

Jan. 27, 2015
For road transport professionals, winter is a tough opponent to fight and against which all precaution is little. For driving in extreme cold situations. Snow or ice is less dangerous, it is essential to keep the truck in good maintenance, but it is also just as important to take a series of precautions when driving.
Driving the truck in winter (I) Chains and load
Road accidents are unpredictable but something can always be done to avoid them. When driving with ice or snow or with very low temperatures (as occurs during the months of January and February), no effort should be spared in having the maintenance of the truck up to date and all its vital elements (brake, coolant, battery, tires). , etc). And above all, do not forget the chains at home. 

But that is not enough, the experts also recommend adapting driving modes somewhat different from those used during the summer. It will also be more important that never keep the load well secured, to prevent it from shifting and unbalancing the vehicle in the event of a skid.
