Drivers are expected to use “common sense.” Drivers must ask questions when there is a doubt concerning the safe delivery of product. “Cover yourself.” - Call your dispatcher if you don’t know about a situation. “The only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.” There are seldom any legitimate excuses for incidents.
