With growth comes great possibilities. As our customer base continues to expand. This ensures that our dispatchers have better negotiating power ensuring that we push for the best rates for your business.

Are you maintaining proper following distance?

On average the following distance for commercial vehicles should be 6-8 seconds on a perfect day.  Drivers should increase the following distance if the roads and weather conditions are not optimal.  Following distance gives drivers better visibility of the road ahead and allows them to anticipate and react as needed.  Most drivers confuse following distance and stopping distance.  Stopping distance requires drivers to identify potential hazards and react to them.  Drivers who follow to closely lose sight of the bigger picture and will only focus on what is in front of them and not giving themselves adequate space and time between the car in front, knowing they could possibly rear-end the vehicle in front of them should they stop suddenly.

By drivers seeing the big picture and maintaining the proper following distance they could reduce the 20,000 accidents that happen annually due to tail-gating.  This is only 5% of all CMV recorded accidents.  Drivers should make a conscientious effort to maintain the 6-8 sec following distance and more when necessary.

Voyager Nation, Inc. first priority is the safety of our drivers and those they share the road. Winter weather is already upon us. Drivers need to expect the unexpected and be prepared for anything. Be sure you have slip proof boots/shoes, extra blankets and winter clothing. Every truck should be equipped with chains, flares, flashlight, and triangles. Van drivers should make sure snow is removed from the top of their trailers this could lead to a safety risk for others as heavy snow may fly off. This may require an exterior trailer wash or other snow removal process. At no time are we requiring drivers to climb up and remove the snow themselves. Drivers should only drive if they feel they can do so in a safe manner and not put themselves or others at risk. Remember 3 points of contact when entering and exiting your truck to avoid falling.

For safety is not a gadget but a state of mind.
