Our day begins with …
Morning ablutions … toileting with/without newspaper. Brushing teeth. … hot beverage to kickstart the day
@ Breakfast table…
Nice processed food-heavy breakfast plus a bowl of fresh fruits/vegetables…
Then … Off To Work
Tension-filled ride to workplace on roads self- or chauffeur-driven in fuel-guzzling motorised transport
Work in office
Hooked to cyberway to ensure organisation makes money so that you & I receive our paycheck regularly
Work @ plant
Production at plants run unhindered with timely arrival of raw materials (inbound) and timely despatch of finished product (outbound) to point of sale across the nation
Journey back home
Work for the day completed, returning home for night rest and readying for fresh grind or nation building regimen the next day..
Rest & relaxation
Sherbet or on the rocks to loosen up nervy work schedule, once back home, before dinner
Dinner Time
Proper dinner with family – in the company of parents if it is a joint set up or with spouse & kids if it is a nuclear set up…
We accessed…
Fuel
Raw materials
Gadgets
Finished Products
Food
During the day, several things happened using a variety of things…
Who made this possible
the man at the wheels
Did we think about him…
A big…
Road, dining table

TREAT THEM LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.
Did you ask…
Truckers, The
BACKBONE
of India
What if…
A big ‘no’ to….
When trucks go off roads for a few days, our lives go topsy turvy. Scarcity of necessities.
A big ‘no’ to….
Your & mine too favourite processed items go off the menu. Vegetables? Fruits? No trucks. No fresh food.
Simply put…
Ready to go back to stone age?
Okay…
New credo
Obsession
Our dream will come crashing down if transport goes off road – affecting overall economy.
Hurdles, unwelcome
Like it or not, transport disruption is least desired. No tranport. No raw materials @ plant. No trucks. No dispatch of finished products. Nightmare.
Cargo safety, Big Challenge
Accidents on highways due to lack of rest room and fatigue affects your career by affecting operations at your plant.
Highway sign awareness
Automotive Skill Development Council dipstick survey claims poor knowledge of highway signs among truck drivers
Highway sign awareness
So… educate truck drivers on highway signages. Go to factory gates (inbound/outbound). Conduct classes for them on roadside.
Highway sign awareness
An aware driver means safe delivery of your raw materials and finished products. All in your OWN interest…
Driver fatigue, Killer
Lack of sleep or apnea reduces concentration and decision-making abilities. Yes, fatigue is the biggest cause for accidents on highways – challenging your delivery schedules of raw materials/finished items
Personal hygiene, pathetic
This truck driver is carrying a bottle of water … not for drinking but …. To complete his bowel cleaning exercise behind bushes under open sky on highways. Why? No highway amenities.
