Constant distractions are everywhere inside and outside your truck. Your cell phone, the dispatching device, food, passengers, and billboards can all be huge distractions from the task of driving. Even your four-legged companion’s persistent request for a bio-break can interfere with your focus.<\/span><\/p>\n Enter Distracted Driving Awareness Month.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The National Safety Council (NSC)<\/a> reports that eight lives are lost each day in crashes attributed to distracted driving. Hundreds more are injured.<\/span><\/p>\n To help address this serious issue, the NSC has launched a program to encourage drivers to take a no distraction pledge for the month. And it\u2019s for good reason.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the harm that distracted driving can cause, truck drivers have financial ramifications.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we enter the last weeks of the month, it\u2019s important not to let efforts to eliminate distracted driving wane with the end of April. Several resources and training exercises are available to help you become a distraction-free driver for the long haul.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If we all do our part in the driver or passenger seat, we can make the road a safer place for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2014<\/p>\n The\u00a0<\/em>England Carrier Services (ECS) division<\/em><\/a>\u00a0offers various services for carriers ranging from maintenance to support.
