🚛 Safety Tip Tuesday: Pre-Trip Inspection Series: Week 6 🚛

This week, we’re checking the part of the truck that meets the road every mile of the trip FRONT WHEELS & TIRES. 🛞

During your pre-trip, check your steer tires for proper inflation and overall condition. Look closely for cuts, bulges, cracks, exposed cords, uneven wear, or other visible damage. Steer tires should have at least 4/32” of tread depth in every major groove.

And don’t stop at the rubber! Inspect the rims, lug nuts, and hub seals for anything loose, damaged, missing, or leaking.

A tire or wheel problem at highway speed can become a serious situation fast. Taking a few minutes to inspect them before you roll helps protect the driver, the equipment, the load, and everyone sharing the road.

Safe miles start where the rubber meets the road. 🚛

We’re continuing our Safety Tip Tuesday Pre-Trip Inspection Series each week as we work our way around the truck.

👀 Drivers, what’s one tire or wheel issue you’ve caught during a pre-trip that you’re glad you found before hitting the road?

🚛 Safety Tip Tuesday: Pre-Trip Inspection Series-Week 5 🚛

This week, we’re putting the focus on one of the most important safety systems on any truck: FRONT BRAKES.

Before you roll, take the time to inspect your brake hoses and lines, brake chambers, slack adjusters, push rods, drums, and linings. Watch for air leaks, cracks, damage, excessive wear, loose components, or contamination.

When you’re moving thousands of pounds down the highway, your brakes need to be ready when you need them. A few minutes spent checking them during your pre-trip can catch a problem before it becomes a much bigger one on the road.

The best time to find a brake problem is before the wheels start turning. 🚛

We’re continuing to work our way around the truck each week with our Safety Tip Tuesday Pre-Trip Inspection Series. Next week, we’ll move on to another critical area of the truck!

👀 Drivers — what’s the most common brake issue you’ve caught during a pre-trip?

🚛 Safety Tip Tuesday: Pre-Trip Inspection Series: Week 4 🚛

This week, we’re taking a look at your front suspension.

Your suspension does a whole lot more than give you a smoother ride. It helps support the weight of the truck, keeps your tires in proper contact with the road, and plays an important role in maintaining stability and control.

During your pre-trip, inspect your leaf springs, spring hangers, U-bolts, and shock absorbers. Look for anything cracked, broken, loose, leaking, shifted, or missing.

A suspension problem might start small, but under the weight and demands of a loaded truck, it can become a serious safety issue quickly. Catch it before you roll.

We’ll keep working our way around the truck each week as part of our Safety Tip Tuesday Pre-Trip Inspection Series. 🚛🔍
