Vantai24h – 06/30/2015 - Two-way transport route from Hanoi to Binh Duong takes about two to two and a half days. A full two-way journey from the north to south takes about one week. In order to keep the long-day transport safe and efficient, each driver needs to equip themselves with good health and strong mind.
The province of Binh Duong is quickly developing with many big industrial zones; therefore, there is an increase in the demand for cargo transportation from Hanoi to Binh Duong.
With particular characteristic of north- to-south transport, each journey takes about five to seven days. Drivers of Transport 24h feel it so familiar to drive such a long distance, so they always try to prepare themselves with good health. Each journey of cargo transport from Hanoi to Binh Duong takes from two to two and a half days. The time for shipping from the capital to Ho Chi Minh City is from four to five days. The full trip from north to south will take approximately one week. If not in great health, drivers can not complete their work and guarantee the safety when driving.
Ngo Van Loc, a 5-ton truck driver of Transport 24, specializing in long-distance transport says: “The sleepiness can come at any time of the day, keeping the mind conscious is very important. Before a long journey, the company allows us to take a day-off to check the availability of the vehicle and take full sleep. With a deep sleep for 6 to 8 hours before setting off, drivers will have a strong mind for the long journey.”
In addition, drivers also have some ways to prevent sleepiness. Ta Duy Hieu told us: “According to my experience, whenever I feel sleepy, I will stop driving because I can not keep focusing on the road and the level of safety is low too. I usually move the car off the road, drink a cup of coffee, wash my face. When I feel totally conscious, I will continue driving.”
The manager of Transport 24h says: “Transport 24h always allocate 2 drivers working together for a long-day journey to ensure the safety. They will alternatively drive, so everyone has their own time to rest and the delivery schedules are ensured. Drivers usually try to run faster but this is not always a recommended thing to do. The desire to complete the work in the short time is good, but personal safety is also the responsibility with the family and company.”
When driving at night, if drivers feel sleepy, they can stop at the petrol stations to take a nap. Many stations today possess the light systems working all night and the parking lots for drivers. These stop is fully safe for drivers and the vehicle. Just a short nap in 30 minutes will keep the drivers’ mind stay awake to continue the journey.”
Driving continuously for a long time makes the mind and body exhausted, so drivers should stop to take rest to relieve the stress and relax their body. Do not try to drive when you are tired because the risk always lurks around in long distance. Traffic safety is the top priority of drivers of Transport 24; therefore, our company always maintains customers’ trust and high reputation in the market.
