New Drivers & Operators

Driving a Main Street™ vehicle is fun! It is important for all drivers to spend a minimum of one hour training before adding cargo and taking to the streets. Driving a large tricycle is not the same as a bicycle. The rear of the delivery trike is 50 inches wide, so it is important to practice maneuvering around objects. Plastic orange cones are good objects to start with.

Remember to steer the tricycle using the front wheel rather than shifting your body weight. It is good to practice going down hills and across inclined surfaces to master this aspect before adding cargo. Drivers learn quickly to put the delivery trike in a low gear when they come to a stop. A delivery trike left in a high gear is difficult to accelerate.

Many delivery trike fleet managers have training programs for new drivers that last at least several hours, and most drivers feel comfortable and safe within one hour of practice.

 

Starting the company.
It’s a good idea to consult with an attorney and accountant about what business structure is best for you. Many new small businesses find that setting up a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) works best. Many owners get liability insurance for the company.  Some get insurance through the same provider of insurance for their other businesses. 

Finding drivers.
People find driving a pedal truck to be a perfect part-time job. It is very important, however, to have responsible, trustworthy drivers. Many fleet managers have half to whole day training sessions for the drivers.
