Use of pawl/wheel chocks improves work safety

Pawls/wheel chocks keep the wheels from turning while the truck is parked. Normally, when the truck is parked and stopped, the parking gear is put in the park and the parking brake is applied, but when the truck is loaded with cargo or parked on a slope, it may not be possible to suppress the rotation of the tires.

It is extremely dangerous for a truck to start moving without people, and serious accidents are unavoidable. If an unmanned truck moves on its own and causes an accident resulting in injury or property damage, it will have a great impact on the life of the driver and the company. With that in mind, it's essential to have pawls/wheel chocks in place when leaving the truck.
