Dealing with Blind Spots

A nasty reality of driving large commercial vehicles is that you have significant areas around the vehicle where you just plain can’t see other vehicles. These “blind spots” are called the No-Zone. The No-Zone represents areas where crashes are more likely to occur. There are five No-Zone areas that all drivers should be aware of:

Be aware of your No-Zone. Other drivers may not be aware of the size of your truck’s blind spots. Be vigilant in watching out for vehicles in the No-Zone. One-third of all crashes between large trucks and cars takes place in the No-Zone.
