🚛 It's National Trailer Safety Week and whether you are hauling equipment, a camper, or a boat trailer, here are a few important tips to keep in mind every time you hit the road!
• Know your weight limits. Make sure your vehicle is rated to tow the load you are pulling and never exceed the manufacturer's towing capacity.
• Check your connections. Before every trip inspect your hitch, safety chains, and wiring to make sure everything is secure and your lights are working properly.
• Check your mirrors. Adjust both side mirrors before you leave so you have a clear view of the trailer on both sides. You cannot rely on your rearview mirror when towing.
• Give yourself extra stopping distance. A loaded trailer significantly increases your stopping distance so leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle ahead.
• Practice backing up. If you are not experienced backing a trailer, take some time to practice in an empty parking lot before you need to do it somewhere stressful.

Stay safe out there and enjoy the ride!
