“Cone Zone”

The Safest way to

Maneuver

Safety Cone Program

Reduce backing and maneuvering accidents

- Over 50% of all FL Transportation accidents occur in

“off road situations” while backing and maneuvering is

occurring. One of the main objectives of “Cone Zone” is

to reduce those accidents.

Increase awareness during close quarter maneuvering.

- Placement of cones before and during deliveries will

make Driver more aware of the “Big Picture” of the entire

maneuvering area.

- As situations change movement of cones will provide

maximum awareness to Driver of all potential hazards.

Safety Cone Program

Upon arrival at location (before delivery / pickup) at Bin / DC / Customer / Backhaul /

Motel / Etc., Driver to place cones at highest potential hazards before maneuvering

process begins.

- Cones to be placed by Driver, immediately upon arrival

Cones are placed to aid Driver in forward and rear motion maneuvering (examples)

- Placed in close proximity to other vehicles or hazards that the tractor / trailer could

come in contact with.

- Placed behind the trailer when backing up to bin dock.

Cones are moved during the delivery / pickup process or whenever more

maneuvering is required or the potential hazards have changed (examples)

- Other vehicles arrive and park in high risk areas during the delivery process, Driver

would be responsible to move the cones before the next maneuver.

Cones can be used to maintain a maneuvering “cushion” in front of and behind the

trailer during deliveries or while parked (example)

- Cones placed in front of and behind trailer to maintain safe maneuvering “cushion”

at bin location. Keeps proper distance between tractor / trailer and Route Trucks /

Personal Vehicles.

DDC Overview

National Safety Council

• The mission of the National Safety Council is to educate and influence people to prevent accidental injury and death.

• One out of every eight traffic fatalities in 2011 resulted from a collision involving a large truck. Although professional truck drivers are involved in fewer collisions than other motorists, collisions involving trucks are far more deadly and costly. Because of this, professional truck drivers and their employers have a tremendous responsibility for keeping the highways safe for others. For over 20 years, the National Safety Council’s DDC-Professional Truck Driver program has given truck drivers the defensive driving techniques that help them avoid collisions and violations and make them take personal responsibility for their driving decisions.

• The goal of the DDC-PTD is to provide professional truck drivers with the knowledge and defensive strategies required for driving collision and citation free.
