Step 1: Establish Communication
Change your UHF radio to channel 40, to call the roadtrain.
Identify the roadtrain by its unit number - in this case its PM12.
Caravan - “Copy in PM12”
Road train driver - “Yes got you go”
Step 2:
Tell the road train driver your intention
Caravan - “I’m in the vehicle behind, can you please advise when it is safe to overtake”.
Road train driver - “Copy that”
Step 3: Be Prepared
Be prepared to pass when the road train driver advises it is clear to overtake.
Road train driver - “copy in the caravan behind PM12, its clear to go.”
Caravan - “Copy that we’re on our way”
Always ensure the road ahead is clear with ample room get well ahead of the road train before returning to the left lane.
