Documentation: Keeping logs of driving hours to prevent fatigue and ensuring that permits and licenses (like the Heavy Duty license) are up to date.
Essential Skills
Technical Knowledge: Understanding dashboard warning lights and the mechanics of brands like Isuzu, Ashok Leyland, or Changan.
Focus & Stamina: The ability to remain alert during long-haul trips and managing rest periods effectively.
Digital Literacy: Using modern apps for license renewal, traffic updates, or even professional social media presence.
