Most 4-meter-2 trucks have manual transmission, and novices need to pay attention to the cooperation of the clutch and the throttle. It is recommended to slowly lift the clutch when starting to avoid stalling; when shifting gears, operate according to the rotation speed (2000-2500 rpm is recommended) to reduce the feeling of frustration.

| Wrong approach | Correct advice |
|---|---|
| Goods stacked too high | The height does not exceed 1.5 times the baffle |
| One side loading | Weight difference between left and right ≤10% |
| speeding | Recommended speed ≤80 kilometers per hour |
3. Vehicle maintenance and safety inspection
Novices need to develop a daily checking habit, focusing on the following items:
| Check items | Standard | cycle |
|---|---|---|
| tire pressure | Front wheel 3.5kg/cm², rear wheel 4.2kg/cm² | daily |
| brake system | Braking distance ≤7 meters (30km/h) | weekly |
| Oil volume | Oil dipstick center line position | monthly |
4. Traffic regulations and fuel-saving techniques
Recently, many places have updated their truck traffic restriction policies. Newbies should pay attention to:

- Keep to the right lane when driving at high speeds, and it is prohibited to occupy the passing lane for a long time
Fuel-saving suggestions: maintain an economical speed of 60-80km/h and avoid sudden acceleration; clean the cargo compartment regularly to reduce weight.
