A large percentage of truck accidents occur within 50km of the driver’s destination, often due to “arrival fatigue.” 🚛😴
As drivers near the end of a long trip, concentration can drop, routines relax, and the focus shifts to finally reaching the destination. Unfortunately, this is when many incidents happen.
Stay alert until the very end of the trip by:
📌Resetting your focus. Treat the last stretch like the first. Do a quick mental reset – sit upright, refocus your eyes, and remind yourself: “I’m not there yet.”
📌Not rushing. Stay disciplined – do not speed or cut corners.
📌Making small adjustments to fight fatigue, like opening a window or adjusting your seat.
The final stretch of a journey still requires full attention. While you give your full attention to the final 50 Km, HCV will be giving our full attention to your coverage 🫱🏽🫲🏼
