  2. Introduction A poorly maintained truck can result in an accident. Proper maintenance and servicing are the keys to keeping accidents at bay in the best possible manner. Here are a few truck maintenance tips that can come in handy for you.

  3. Check the electrical system A bad battery may leave you stranded and a faulty battery may cause your truck to stall or operate incorrectly during the drive. Check the terminals of your battery periodically to find out whether they are corroded or not. Look for cracks in the wiring. If you find one, change them ASAP.

  4. Check the wiper system Clear visibility is a must for safe driving. You need to ensure that your wiper blades remain in top-notch condition during the time of your drive. Wiper blades have a tendency to wear out over time. So keep a tab on them and look for cracks. Replace if you find any.

  5. Check on your tires Rain, ice, snow, and other winter weather conditions can make your truck driving more dangerous. Remember, tires are your first line of defense as far as avoiding accidents are concerned. It’s therefore important for you to check on the tires and their tread depth periodically to ensure they remain in a tiptop condition.

  6. Check your brakes Apart from tires, brakes also play a mighty important role in ensuring truck safety. This fact is especially true in wet, icy or snowy weather. Worn brake pads may result in a catastrophic brake failure which, in turn may lead to a potentially deadly accident. So pay special attention to it.

  7. Check hoses and belts Rubber gets a bit more brittle over time. So pay attention to any signs of wear such as cracks, frayed belts, or soft spots. These issues are dangerous and may result in extensive engine damage which, in turn, may result in a disastrous truck accident.

  8. Replace air filter A dirty air filter may result in poor engine performance and poor gas mileage. So make sure you get them professionally cleaned at least once every six months for an improved driving performance.
