KNOWLTON TRUCKING
DECEMBER 2022 - EMPLOYEE NEWSLETTER
I hope everyone had a great November. We are continuing into another very busy month. We hope that the Newsletters are helping to keep you informed and up to date on all that’s going on with Knowlton Trucking!
Please continue to BE AWARE…...
The change in weather is upon us so ensuring you have all the winter gear you need in your trucks.
- Chains 5 bags
- Extension cords
- Some fuel anti-gel inside box
- Extra fuses
SAFETY IS IMPORTANT……
When logging into your ELD to start your day,allow the ELD’s to fully load your information to avoid any unnecessary violations that occur from starting too early and messing up 10hourbreaks and 34-hour resets.
Weather Conditions
Check the weather before leaving for your run. In the event of severe weather, alternate routing may be available. In the event you do
encounter bad weather, it is up to you to decide if you are comfortable with continuing the run. In cases of extreme weather, KTI management will preemptively make the determination to cancel the run. If your run is cancelled
and you would still like to work, get with your manager who will work with FedEx to find addition work that is not affected by severe weather.
Look out for Deer
Deer are more active during the colder months
Wear weather appropriate clothing.
Wearing shorts during freezing weather may cause you to rush your pre-trip and miss something important. Not wearing the right kind of
footwear may cause you slip.
Fill up on fuel at the end of your run.
When the fuel tanks are half full/almost empty then condensation can form and get water in the tank.
