Safety, Operation and Maintenance Manual
6 ROADING
6.1 General
‘ROADING’ (operating a truck over public
highways) requires special care and attention.
Trucks, because of their large size, are
slower and less manoeuvrable than most
other vehicles encountered on the road. Yet,
while on the road, they must be operated for
extended periods of time at or near maximum
speeds.
Before 'ROADING' a truck for an extended
distance between jobs, or between widely
scattered sections of a job, the machine must
be properly equipped and in good condition.
It is also recommended to carry a 'Warning
Triangle'.
The operator must use extra care while on
the public highways and remain constantly
alert, especially for overhead cables and low
bridges.
Necessary permits must be obtained from
the proper authorities before the machine is
'ROADED' on public highways.
