Drivers usually divide their 4- day route into smaller chunks of routes as followed: the first day of departure from Hanoi to Quang Binh, the second day from Quang Binh to Binh Dinh, the third day from Binh Dinh to Phan Thiet and the final day from Phan Thiet to Vinh Long. It is fairly smooth to take the Highway 1 because many roads of this Highway were updated into expressways such as the transport road from Phan Thiet to Ho Chi Minh City and from Ho Chi Minh City to Tien Giang Province. The road is much more beautiful and broader than before, so drivers need to control their speed, overtake safely and maintain their good health condition. With long distance routes, it is essential for drivers to take enough sleep and should not try to drive when they feel unconscious. It is much better to get to the final destination late than driving too fast with the high risk of accident.
In addition to keeping good health condition through sleep, young drivers need to consider some experience of long distance driving and learn and follow rules of the road traffic. However, there is a reality that some young drivers do not know the meaning of all traffic signs. Therefore, it is advisable that drivers should control their speed and observe carefully other vehicles on the road. If there are any cars going in the same direction, drivers should follow them slowly. After that, according to the final destination, drivers would have effective solutions.
Moreover, drivers should maintain their suitable speed and pay careful attention to traffic signs to have time-consuming and effective routes. With long distance journeys, there should be at least two people in the cabin, one main driver and one sub driver. The sub driver will help to observe signs and guidance when necessary. If getting tired, drivers should find a safe place to take a break or replace their position with the companion. Thanks to that, drivers could ensure the timing for goods transportation and the safety of the journey.
Drivers are not an easy and comfortable job as many people usually think. This particular job requires mental and physical labour. No matter who you are, a young or veteran driver, you should drive carefully, safely and effectively. Drivers of Transport Co.Ltd always keep this advice in their mind, especially before each long distance transport route.
