One thing you don’t need while driving a moving truck is a healthy dose of motion sickness, or car sickness. When you feel carsick, it’s the (probably) the result of sensors in your inner ear feeling movement, but your eyes not seeing it, creating a conflict of senses and causing illness.
Therefore, you want to make sure that what you see is what you feel. Accordingly, you want to avoid reading or playing video games because you’re looking at a stationary object while your body senses movement. Rather, you want to keep your eyes trained outside the car.
Here are some more tips:
- Sit up front
- Focus on the horizon
- Eat healthy and not too much
- Take medicine, if necessary
- Avoid making the ride rougher, bumpier or swervier than it needs to be
These tips are even more essential when driving a moving truck because you or the driver won’t be used to the controls and the truck is more susceptible to wind.
