Prevent Driver Burnout

Post Date - Oct 29, 2024

Almost everything you’ve purchased was brought to you by a truck driver. Owner operators are the backbone of our economy and Roadrunner. Drivers can experience burnout trying to balance administrative duties while driving as much as they can to earn as much as possible. Set up a solid foundation for yourself and your business.

1. Stay within hours-of-service regulations. Safety is always first! It’s the law and if you receive a violation, it can cost you your job and future employment opportunities. Regulations are also there to help prevent fatigue while driving. Your body and mind need rest to perform at your best.
2. Time management is key. Plan your breaks, stops, and administrative duties each run. This can help you find the best routes for fuel costs, minimize your downtime between runs, and allow you to keep up with all the paperwork required to be an owner operator.

Preparation can help keep you and your business running smoothly. With Roadrunner, Orange & Black Has Your Back! Our linehaul planners and coordinators can help you schedule your loads and routes.
