KTI NEWS
June was a HOT one!!! I know a lot of you are taking vacation time this summer so be sure and stay hydrated and enjoy your time! For everyone else, it’s been a great month!
PLEASE REMEMBER…………. No personal use of any KTI tractor or out of route miles unless approved by KTI management.
Vacation Payout – We’d like to remind all that if you haven’t taken your vacation time within the year, we will be paying that out to you. You are given a week’s vacation on your year anniversary.
BLACKOUT DATES - for vacation will be November 1, 2023, to January 15, 2024
Safety Meeting – We are working toward providing our safety meetings through our Paychex portal that all of you currently have available to you. This will give us the access to keep a log on when you get on there and watch them. We will be getting more information out to you soon with the details and instructions.
SAFETY IS IMPORTANT……
Keep Lane changes to a minimum-
Pick a lane and stay in it, the odds of an accident increases dramatically each time a vehicle makes a move to another lane.
When you do have to make a lane change do so very carefully while being aware of your blind spots and constantly check your mirrors.
HEALTHY TIP
Driving a truck doesn’t have to burn you out mentally and physically. When you have some downtime, let go of the steering wheel and make sure to connect with yourself and your loved ones.
Take care of your mental health
Always be mindful of how you feel emotionally.
This might sound obvious or cliche, but your mental health impacts your ability to focus and operate your truck safely.
If you feel overwhelmed or lonely, contact someone. This could be another truck driver, a colleague, a mental health provider, or a family member.
Truck driving can be a stressful, lonely job. It’s always ok to ask for help when you need it.
Bringing a pet on the road can also be a big source of companionship. Long hours can lead to loneliness, and traveling with a pet of any kind can help improve your mood. It’s also a great conversation starter at rest areas!
