Home › CDL Practice Tests › General Knowledge Questions › Question 209
If you must make an emergency phone call from the roadside, what location information helps responders most?
- A.The road and direction of travel, the nearest mile marker or exit, and nearby landmarks or cross streets
- B.Your home address
- C.Only the name of your company
- D.The color of your truck
Correct answer
A. The road and direction of travel, the nearest mile marker or exit, and nearby landmarks or cross streets
Why
Responders cannot help until they can find you, and mile markers are the addressing system of the highway. Reading the nearest marker before you call can cut minutes off the response to a fire or injury.
