Truck Driving Safety Reminders: Always Follow Posted Speed Limits

Speed Limit

At its core, Bay & Bay Transportation values safety in all that we do. From maintaining trucks to providing drivers with continued education on the safest and most effective methods, safety is always a value which we will never compromise. This protects our drivers and others traveling on the road. It’s worth revisiting basic safety measures every now and again, especially now that driving conditions will be improving and drivers might ignore safety measures. Though it’s easy to exceed the posted speed limits, this key safety measure is in place for a reason.

When driving a rig loaded with equipment, supplies, or product, one focus is obviously how quickly one can arrive at a destination. This is especially the case when paid by the mile or even by the hour. Speeding, though it may cut down on time, may cause more problems in the long run. Posted speed limits are there for both the safety of the truck driver as well as the passenger vehicles around them.

Providing a safe traveling environment starts with the most basic of rules: following posted speed limits. It’s no surprise there’s always someone not observing the posted speed limit most anywhere you go. The high value of safety on the road will always trump time saved. That’s why drivers who understand the value of safety first are the ones Bay and Bay Transportation strive to recruit for employment.
