Too Fast for Conditions
Driving too fast for conditions is defined as traveling at a speed that is greater than a reasonable standard
for safe driving. Examples of conditions where drivers may find themselves driving too fast include: wet
roadways, reduced visibility, uneven roads, construction zones, school zones, curves, intersections, gravel
roads and heavy traffic. Listed below are some tips that will help you maintain a safe speed for various driving conditions.
Reduce your driving speed in adverse road/weather conditions:
2. Tap your name and tap the Logout button. Then tap OK.
* Adjust your speed to safely match weather conditions, road conditions, visibility and traffic. Excessive

speed is a major cause of fatal crashes and higher speeds may cause more severe crashes. You should reicy roads you should drive slowly and cautiously and pull off the road if you can no longer safely control the
vehicle.

3. Tap Edit, change load information, and then tap OK.
4. Tap History to view past loads or tap a load to edit. You must have received the latest logs to edit load
history.
5. Tap Done.
Personal Conveyance:
This is a personal necessity for the driver not the truck., to be used as follows:

you have 90 minutes personal conveyance time in a 24 hour period.

Cannot be under dispatch.

Cannot have a trailer behind you.

You have to return to where you started.
If you have any questions about your Elogs you can call the Winter Haven Terminal, Monday thru Friday 8
a.m.—5 p.m. at 855-478-8265 and ask for Debbie, Thank you!
trucks should reduce their speed even further. Large trucks entering a curve, even at the posted speed limlock up and the vehicle to skid.
Reduce your Speed Before Entering an Exit/Entrance Ramp
* Approach an exit/entrance ramp at a safe speed. Truck rollovers are more likely to occur on exit/entrance ramps when the driver misjudges the sharpness of the curve and enters the curve at an excessive speed. Even though ramps and interchanges make up less than 5% of all highway miles, 20 to 30% of
all large truck crashes occur on or near ramps.
Drive Slowly with a Loaded Trailer
* Be more cautious with a loaded trailer. Loaded trailers have a higher center of gravity and sudden speed
adjustment may cause the load to shift, leading to skidding or a rollover. Large trucks with fully loaded
trailers are 10 times more likely to roll over than those with empty trailers. Loaded trailers require 20 to
40% more braking than passenger vehicles to come to a complete stop.
Slow Down in Work Zones
* Before entering a work zone, decrease your speed, merge into the correct lane well ahead of any lane closures, and be prepared to slow down or stop suddenly. Speed increases perception-reaction distance, braking distance and stopping distance.
