Drivers shall be especially careful when using the CB radio and other communications devices when at Truck stops and other in route stop points.
2. Drivers shall not pick up hitchhikers or allow any unauthorized personnel in the truck cab.
3. Drivers should not stop to help disabled vehicles or motorists. Call local authorities and notify them of anyone needing assistance. Be suspicious of motorists trying to get the driver to pull over for an “alleged” accident. Be especially suspicious of vehicles with three or more people in them.
4. Supervisors will report late loads. Loads that are more than one hour late for which no driver contact is reported shall be investigate to determine why a hazardous load is late or missing.
