It’s an interesting world out there these days, and sometimes truckers have to drive through the middle of it in order to get the job done. There are peaceful protests all over the country, and some have turned violent, making it tricky and dangerous to get through. Without knowing which direction a protest will go, it’s best to avoid them altogether.
If you can’t, or are unsure of where they are and come upon one, make sure your doors are locked and you take your seat belt off if you feel things escalating. Also, roll your windows down a little bit as that makes them harder to break. Make sure your dashcam is running and recording and make a quick call to your customers to see what the area is like.
