Safety Trends from Tifanni for drivers to be aware of………….

Top 5 Safety issues:

1.) Distracted Driving

2.) Driver Unbelted

3.) Handheld Device

4.) Other Violations- Incomplete stops or stopping past the white intersection line.

5.) Near Collision- It’s no surprise this is on here with the amount of distracted driving that I am seeing. 

These are all easy things to correct. Let's make sure that safety is at the top our list every time you get into a truck. As professional drivers, it’s your duty to keep yourself focused and alert while driving and to keep those around you safe as best as possible! Let’s work as a team and see if we can’t change some of these habits. 

Thanks Team!

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. 

1. Chains 5 bags

2. Extension cords

3. Some fuel anti-gel inside box

4. Extra fuses

Weather Conditions- Check for severe/adverse weather conditions along your route that may affect your run.

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 foot ware 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.
