Checking the truck before the trip
| What is checked | Why |
|---|---|
| Tyres, their pressure and the spare | Summer heat on the northern road raises the risk of a blow-out |
| Brakes, lights and reflectors | Long stretches are driven at dawn and dusk |
| The body door, its locks and its floor | Dust and rain getting in ruin a household |
| The cooling unit on refrigerated trucks | Its failure spoils the whole load |
| Fire extinguisher, warning triangle and first-aid kit | Required by law and at the border |
| Periodic inspection and vehicle documents | A truck without valid documents does not cross |
The driver: qualification and rest
- The licence: a valid heavy-vehicle licence and a professional driver card.
- Knowing the route: the northern road and Al Haditha, or the Tabuk road and Halat Ammar.
- Rest: a regular stop every few hours and an overnight halt before the long stretch, as fatigue is the roadโs greatest danger.
- No rushing: the delivery date is worked out at a safe speed, not on non-stop driving.
- Contact: the driverโs number with the customer, and an update at every stage.
Keeping the load safe
- Weight: within the legal payload, and weighed at the border.
- Distribution: heavy items low and over the axles, not at the rear of the body.
- Securing: straps and bars between rows, as sudden braking shifts whatever is not tied down.
- The seal: a seal number on the door recorded in the contract and checked at the border and at delivery.
- Hazardous materials: never loaded with a household: gas cylinders, fuel and paint.

- Who is the driver, and has he driven this route before?
