Staying within your lane
Possible warning signs of fatigue include trouble focusing, frequent blinking, or eyelids that feel heavy; repeated yawning; rubbing your eyes; daydreaming, or having wandering or disconnected thoughts; trouble remembering the last few miles; missing exits or traffic signs; trouble keeping your head up; drifting from your lane, following too closely, or hitting a rumble strip; and feeling restless or irritable.
17 . When trying to avoid a hazard:
You should drive on the shoulder.
Stopping is not always the most effective response to a hazard. You can usually turn out of the path of a hazard more quickly than you can come to a complete stop. However, swerving is not without its hazards, as it may result in a rollover in a vehicle that is either top-heavy or pulling multiple trailers.
18 . On a curve, the posted speed limit:
The posted speed limit on a curve may be safe to be taken by cars, but can still be too fast to be taken by larger vehicles, such as trucks. An operator driving their truck at the posted limit on a curve could cause their vehicle to tip over.
19 . When you must travel down a grade, when should you switch into a lower gear?

Before starting down a hill, you should shift into a lower gear. This will help get your vehicle to a speed that you can control without having to use your brakes too much.
20 . When braking while ABS is activated, you should:
Brake softer than you normally would.
In a vehicle equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), you should apply the brakes in the same manner that you would if you were driving without ABS.
21 . Cargo being transported should be checked:
Cargo should be inspected before beginning a trip, within the first 50 miles of the trip, and every three hours or 150 miles traveled thereafter. Cargo should be inspected every time the driver stops to take a break. The driver of a truck transporting cargo is responsible for the cargo being safely secured throughout the trip.
