PLUGGING

Plugging is another way to slow down or stop your 
truck. While the truck is moving, in either direction, 
select the opposite direction of travel. Use the 
accelerator to control how quickly you slow down. 
Plugging will not stop your truck as fast as using the 
foot brake.

Plugging does not hurt your truck.

PLUGGING VS. BRAKING

Of the two, the foot brake is designed to stop the 
truck in the shortest distance. Use the foot brake in an 
emergency, on ramps or in busy areas.

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING

Driver distractions can cause accidents resulting in 
injury or even death.

• Don’t use cell phones or similar devices while 

operating the truck. 

• Travel in the direction where you have the best 

visibility.
