A poorly planned route is one of the contributing causes of truck accidents. Most car drivers know that certain roads are more dangerous than others in their commute and avoid difficult intersections. Likewise, avoiding high-traffic areas is especially important for someone driving an 80,000-pound semi-truck.
Effective truck route planning prioritizes the safety of fellow motorists. Advanced preparation can help mitigate shipping delays and reduce the chances of collision. It is why the FMCSA recommends that drivers prepare a route before beginning their trip.
Poorly planned routes can result in:
Truck drivers are often under extreme pressure to meet unrealistic delivery deadlines. They may not have time to pre-plan a route or try unfamiliar routes to save on travel time.
However, not all roads are safe for commercial vehicles. Winding country roads may be difficult for trucks to navigate safely. Bridges open to wind gusts may be unsafe for trucks carrying heavy loads. Trucks are larger than cars, and even a light breeze can create catastrophic conditions.
Delivery trucks that traverse many different landscapes are at risk of crashes resulting from poorly planned routes. These drivers are often under a time crunch, making them more likely to drive recklessly to keep up with delivery timetables. Poorly planned routes may also lead to unwise snap decisions, distractions such as cell phone or GPS usage, and additional stress and fatigue.
When these risks cause accidents, they can lead to property damage, injury, or death for other motorists.
