All my life I thought that having a truck is profitable, I am planning to buy one soon, but I don’t know how to put it to work. First of all I am not a truck driver, neither do I know anything about the business. I think is a good idea to join the truck to a trucking company, but how do I do that?. Also I don’t know how profitable it would be. The one I want to buy is a big one.

The trucking industry is a vital component of the national economy. For this reason, a great deal of research goes into developing new accident prevention technologies. In the past, accident prevention usually meant the reduction of damages if an accident were to take place. Today, smart systems are being developed to keep drivers safe on the road.

The Next Generation in Stability Control

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) has become an integral part of trucking safety. ESC is the system that selectively applies brakes to one or more wheels when the truck begins to lose control. ESC II is currently being developed to further decrease loss of vehicle control. This is accomplished through a combination of slight steering input, as well as throttle and braking control. Tests are being conducted to expand these mechanisms to include rear wheel steering control through active multi-link suspension systems.

Pre-Collision Systems

Pre-Collision Systems have been installed in many of the more expensive car models and can be adapted for use in trucks. If a collision is imminent, the system senses the approaching cars and other obstacles and activates preventative measures to try to stop or minimize the collision and to protect the driver. Measures taken may be full activation of brakes and activation of safety devices. Some systems even include video cameras to act as a second pair of eyes for the driver.

Adaptive Cruise Control

In addition to regulating speed, this system uses radar to maintain safe traveling distances between vehicles. As the truck approaches another vehicle, brakes and throttle are adjusted accordingly.

Lane Departure Warning

Cameras are installed in the truck to detect the stripes denoting lanes or road margins. If the truck begins to cross these lines, a chime and warning light are activated. In testing, this system was very effective on highways in alerting drowsy drivers that they are not paying attention to the road.

Brake Assist

This is a mechanism that measures the pressure applied to the brakes. If a rapid hard thrust is applied, as when a driver is trying to avoid a collision, the maximum braking capability is increased adding greater braking power.

Blind Spot Detection

This system uses cameras to observe a trucks blind spots. If the driver attempts to change lanes while a vehicle is in the trucks blind spots, a warning is given to the driver.

Night Vision

Infrared technology can be applied to increase a drivers vision ability at night. Drivers have reported many night vision systems as being confusing, but better systems are being developed.

Rollover Mitigation

Sensors augment stability control in order to detect when the truck is beginning to tip. Stability control then applies brakes in an effort to prevent the rollover. If this fails safety systems, such as airbags, are activated.

Active Head Restraints

During a collision, head restraints move forward to brace the head in an effort to prevent whiplash.

Voice Recognition

As every driver knows, attempting to fumble with gear and gadgets can reduce the ability of a driver to control a truck. For this reason implementing voice recognition systems for control of radios, climate control, cell phones, etc. is seen as a way to greatly increase driver safety.

Intelligent Networks

Systems are being developed that allow vehicles to communicate with each other. This would operate in a similar fashion to drivers further down the road informing others of ice or accidents. All vehicles would report to each other a variety of factors including road conditions, weather, obstructions, and so on.

I currently live in georgia, but I’m open to locating to the Illinois area b/c I have family there. I am very interested in becoming a truck driver, but I have this felony drug charge in my background. I do not live that lifestyle, just made a bad decision that day. Really would like some information on schools that would be willing to give someone like me a chance. I’m bonded, if that matters to the school.
