There is a lot of rain forecast-ed this week. We encourage everyone to stay safe. Don't be a douche-bag on the roads, drive to the conditions, there is no need to speed. Please allow extra distance to stop especially for trucks! Remember to give them extra road space to stop!!! Don't forget to check your tyres, brakes and lights!

PBT's Tips To Your Improve Fuel Efficiency

* Monitor Tire Pressures
Underinflated tires decreases your fuel economy For every 1 PSI drop in pressure your fuel mileage can be reduced by .03%
* Minimize Idling
Only idle your truck when absolutely necessary. Once hour of idling burns about a gallon (3.785litres) of fuel
*Avoid Unnecessary Items
The more weight you carry the harder your engine has to work the more fuel you will burn
*Be Moderate With Braking
Braking is apart of driving. Every time you slow down from braking it takes more fuel to get the truck back up to speed. Leaving more distance between you & the vehicle in-front of you can reduce braking
*Use your Cruise Control
Where you can apply the cruise control function Cruise control can limit unnecessary acceleration & can save you up to 6% in fuel consumption on the road

Brake Shoe Reline
The brake lining is the hard material attached to the brake pad to increase friction against your brake drum. The thinner the lining the greater the risk of the friction materials cracking & or de-lamination from the backing plate The friction linings have a min. thickness spec that indicates when the pads or shoes are worn out

Signs you need to replace your linings:
*Squeaking or Squealing Coming from brakes
*Grinding sound when braking
*Vibration when braking
*Taking longer to stop
*Brake warning light on your dash appears

PBT’s Trucking Tips
*Check Weather Reports
Subscribe to weather alerts so you are aware of weather conditions
Winter weather is very dangerous & it causes 25% of all speeding relating to truck driving accidents
Allow more time for everything, double your following space, signal longer before turning
Keep your lane changing to a minimum, pick a lane & stay in it as much as possible
* Take A Break/Don’t Drive Tired
Take your regular brakes as needed, make sure you physically get out of your truck. Take a walk & stretch your legs. This is a good time to walk around & check your truck & trailer
Fatigue is one of the top 3 factors in serious road accidents
Being fatigued affects your driving, it slows down your reaction time, reduces concentration, & can also can cause fatal micro sleeps
Pull over immediately if you are experiencing any of the following:
Restlessness
Yawning
Poor Concentration
Sore or tried eyes
* Avoid Traffic
Always have a back in plan in place. Not only can an alternative route save you time it may also save your life
* Vehicle Maintenance
Implement a daily pre-start check. Any defects found should be reported immediately
Preventive Maintenance (PM) is regular & routine maintenance in order to keep the trucks going & will help avoid any costly unplanned down time
To find out how PM can help your business please give the office a call on 03 9312 5422
