safety measures for truck drivers

In order to counter the risk of thefts, there are several proven tips for security for truck drivers. Experts advise you to use safe, illuminated and guarded parking spaces. In addition, valuables should not be left visibly in the vehicle. A look inside the vehicle can help: windows and doors should always be closed when you are away. After each stop, it is advisable to check the vehicle and the load for security deficiencies. In some cases, it can also be advisable to inform the control center instead of acting if damage is suspected during the trip. The identity of alleged officials should always be checked, especially for controls.

In addition, the Kravag Truck Parking app can serve to reserve safe parking spaces and thus create an additional feeling of security for drivers. Regular control messages in defined locations, but also the securing of the company site through video surveillance and access controls, can help to minimize the risk of thefts. The selection of new employees and regular credit controls at transport companies are also important measures.

In the case of Niederwinkling, it is once again evident that prevention is essential. Drivers and transport companies should be aware of these risks and take the necessary security measures in order to protect the load and the vehicle in the best possible way. The information about such incidents and the exchange of information is crucial to prevent similar actions in the future.
