How do heavy trucks prevent skidding? Latest Truck Driving Tips

1. Use snow chains to increase friction

I think I don't say that everyone also knows the role of the snow chain. After installing the snow chain, the friction between the tire and the ice and snow roads is increased, so that the driving is more stable. It is necessary to pay attention to the timely removal of the snow chain after passing through the ice and snow roads. Tyre damage is extremely high. It is particularly worth mentioning that the tractor drive axle and the last bridge of the trailer should be equipped with snow chains. Small snow chains solve big problems.

2. Don't overdo it

Refuel too hard. After the tire rotates at a high speed, the adhesion to the ground will be reduced, and slippage will easily occur. The truck driver must remember to slowly lift the clutch, lightly oil, and usually start at 2nd gear. At this time, you can choose 3rd starting to reduce the torque. If there is a slip at the start, immediately close the throttle and gently adjust the steering wheel to ensure that the vehicle is driving in the correct direction.

3. Use the inertia brake of the engine

In the icy and snowy roads, it is necessary to slow down and use the engine's “dragging” brake to decelerate. Using the “dragging” brake of the engine to maintain the adhesion between the wheels and the road is much better than using the foot brake. If you want to drive at a low speed, consider using a lower gear and keep the engine at a slightly higher speed. If you gradually raise the throttle, you can get the engine brake. Regardless of whether the truck is equipped with ABS, it is best to step on the brakes before the brakes, which can remind the rear vehicle to slow down to avoid rear-end collisions.

When using methods such as engine exhaust braking, you need to pay more attention when driving in snow. In the exhaust valve braking system, which can be electrically controlled and can be adjusted, it is necessary to operate the engine exhaust valve braking system of a low-power engine according to the instructions for use, and for the non-electrically controlled adjustable type, especially in the case of high speed. It is forbidden to use engine brakes.

In particular, the tractor needs to be used when it is used, because the engine brake only has effect on the tractor, and the trailer is easily affected by the front of the vehicle when the speed is faster.

4. Downhill considerations

When climbing uphill and downhill, it is very dangerous. When you go uphill, you must maintain a double distance with the vehicle in front, and strive to complete the climb in one go. In case of climbing on the slope, the wheels will slip due to ice on the ground. You can spread sand or felt on the front and rear of the wheel to increase the friction. When necessary, tools can also be used to make the hard ice on the ground into a strip of lateral grooves to avoid wheel slippage. When going downhill, it is necessary to smoothly shift to a block and use the low speed to reduce the speed.

5. Do not change lanes frequently

Don't change lanes lightly and frequently. When you have to pass, keep a safe distance from being overtaken, and don't rush to return to the original road after passing. Instead, return to the original road after you have opened the vehicle enough distance.

  6. Avoid rushing directions

Avoid driving the steering wheel, slamming or slamming when driving in snow, and drive as low as possible. Snowfall can cause snow or ice on the road surface or muddy roads, which can cause tires to lose grip. If you are facing a vehicle slipping, immediately release the throttle. Do not slam on the brakes, it will probably cause a side slip. If you have already created a side slip, release the brake immediately and allow the steering wheel to regain control of the car.

Slow turning, in the steering, but also to slow down, increase the radius of the turn and slowly hit the steering wheel, steering wheel operation should be smooth and gentle, otherwise there will be side slip, so that the tail thrown to the outside.

7. Choose the right tire

You can choose professional snow tires, ice and snow can play a good grip and drainage capacity. If you encounter snow and ice on the way, you cannot replace the snow wheel in time. You can put some heavy gas on the truck tires to increase the contact surface between the tires and the ground and improve the grip of the tires.
