","text":"They actually do keep track of the safety record of trucking companies. Mega fleets are allowed to have a certain amount of accidents so as long as the “percentage” doesn’t go over the national average. There’s probably a complicated metric that assesses the true safety record of a company. I personally think it’s very believable that mega companies have a safer record than smaller companies when it comes to major accidents. These companies force their drivers to drive at 60-65 mph, have cameras recording them while driving, have sensors that manage (and report) following distance, have lane sensors that beep (and report) if the driver is swerving within his lane, etc. While I do believe it would suuck to drive under those conditions, they probably help to prevent major accidents."}

That’s something that never happened to me when I was leased on to a mega trucking company. My solutions were these:\n\n**Keep your truck sleeper curtains fully open, so they can see inside the sleeper.\n**Put some “safety” stickers on your truck and trailer, such as “safety first” or “truck makes wide turns” or “headlights on for safety,” etc. I know it suucks, but you want to give the impression that you are a safe and legal driver/company!\n**Add your e-log provider’s decal on both sides of the truck. If you threw yours away, call your e-log provider to get 4 decals. Two of them will be extras.\n**Keep your truck clean. You don’t have to wash your truck weekly, but you do want to wash it regularly. \n**Add some extra stickers on your truck to make your truck look more “legit.” For example, throw in the American flag on both sides of the truck.\n**Leave your old IFTA stickers on your truck. Again, all of these stickers will make your truck look more legit as opposed to barely having anything on your truck.\n**If you have a company logo, make sure it’s on your truck and trailer. This one I haven’t done myself, but I might get there some day.\n**If your truck looks very old, the paint is falling off, your hood is a different color from the rest of your truck, etc. you may want to consider getting a paint job on your truck. This goes with your appearance. If your truck looks run down, they might assume that something isn’t right, and they might stop you to take a closer look. "}
