TAKING BREAKS
GIVE YOURSELF A MUCH NEEDED BREAK
Even a brief stop to stretch your legs can do wonders when traveling for an extended period.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TAKING BREAKS
- Safe, aware driving for an extended period can be draining both physically and mentally. Give yourself time for an occasional break – especially when driving for hours at a time.
- Truck drivers are required to take breaks and can only drive a certain amount of hours before taking an extended break.
- If possible, give yourself extra time when on a long driving journey for an occasional stop to get out of the vehicle, stretch, and reset your mind and body.
