Stopping for the night, it is important to choose the safest places.
Indeed, in the back of the car, there is a load, which sometimes costs very
much, and in the tanks, fuel is filled, the cost of which is also high. In
addition, the driver with him usually has a certain amount of money that the
robbers can invest in.
Do not spend the night on the side of the road. After all, other drivers
may not notice your truck and accidentally enter it.
Safe places for parking trucks are special areas for the rest of truckers.
But, alas, in our country there are practically none. However, on each track,
there are special areas where truckers spend the night. Every night there can
be seen 10-20 trucks. In such a company, no robber is terrible.
But here you need to take into account one nuance - other drivers can merge
diesel fuel. Then you still can not prove anything. Therefore, you need to be
careful.
The second safe place for night lodging truckers are the areas near the
traffic police posts. Robbers will not be there, only now there may be
questions from the cops themselves, who suddenly want to check your documents.
Although this is not always the case.
The next good place to stay is the gas station. Near gas stations, there
are usually areas where truckers spend the night.
When choosing a place to sleep, you should pay attention to their lighting.
One dim lantern is not enough.
Also, be sure to inform the carrier or the logistics of the chosen place to
rest. Experienced truckers, as a rule, calculate the time of the journey to get
to the place of parking they need.
