The driver must ensure the truck is parked on level ground, engine is idling in neutral or off, and passengers enter using proper steps or handles. Avoid boarding in unsafe locations such as highways or inclines.

Drivers must avoid sudden accelerations, sharp turns, or abrupt stops, as heavy truck movement can cause passengers to lose balance or suffer injuries inside the cab.
