Tips for Truck Driving in the Heat

As we approach summer and the heatwave that inevitably arrives we thought it apt to discuss a few tips for truckers who are out on the road during those summer months.  With air conditioned cabs and APU units, along with 44 ounce Big Gulps, it's often easy to forget what the sun can do not only to your equipment but to the driver as well.  Here are a few precautions to take this summer as you prepare to get out on the road:

Bundle Up:

Luckily sun damage typically doesn't get this bad...

It may seem contrary that in the heat you'll want to wear layered clothing, however we've seen many truckers who suffer from skin damage or what can be referred to as "the Trucker's arm."  As drivers typically have one arm next to the window all day, every day, they can be susceptible to sunburns and skin damage from the sun's rays.  Whether you choose to wear sleeves or use sun protection, make sure you're addressing the wear that can come from being in front of the sun all day.

Stay Hydrated:

Most heat exhaustion with truckers doesn't occur while they are in the cab but when they are in the back, unloading or loading their trailers.  The heat within a trailer will be amplified after driving through the sun all day and can quickly cause exposure from heat fatigue to more serious issues.  Be sure to stay hydrated -- water will be your best friend in these summer months.  Try to avoid caffeinated sodas and keep an extra water bottle handy in the back of your rig.  

Other Tips:

Other tips from parking your tractor in the shade to taking time to stay healthy and in shape will enable you to perform at your best during these summer months.  Keep your equipment from overheating by scheduling a tune-up and you should be prepared for your summer driving.
