How to Handle Difficult Terrain in a Truck
Queensland’s landscapes vary from muddy tracks to rocky hills. Driving a truck here needs skill. Follow these tips to stay safe.
Prepare Your Truck
Check tyres for good treads. Use all-terrain tyres for grip. Ensure 4WD is working. Carry recovery gear like tow straps.
Drive Smart on Mud
Go slow in muddy areas. Keep a steady speed to avoid slipping. Use low gear for control. Avoid sharp turns.
Tackle Rocky Paths
Drive slowly over rocks. Pick a clear path. Keep wheels on high ground. Check the undercarriage for damage.
Stay Safe
Know your route. Tell someone your plans. Carry water and tools. Stay calm, drive steadily.
