Daily Safety Tip:

BE ALERT.

Know everything going on around you.
Always look well ahead down the road and around your rig.
When rolling down the highway, especially in heavy traffic, always plan an ‘escape route’.
Be aware of who’s in front of you, beside you and behind you at all times. Be aware of everything, so you can act accordingly, if and when necessary.
Being well rested keeps you at your best.
The electronic logbook system potentially provides a system for drivers to be well rested, IF utilized properly by the carrier.

Daily Safety Tips:

21. Unload freight wisely.
If you are involved in unloading, you may be tired after a long drive, but don’t cut corners. Before opening trailer doors, consider that freight may be resting against the door. Then:

Slowly loose the lock bars on the right hand door, keeping your body adjacent to the left door.
As the door starts to open, peek in the crack to see if there’s freight against the door.
Once cleared, use both hands to swing the door to avoid wind catching it.
Secure the door firmly with the tie-back cable or chain.
If lifting freight, bend your hips and knees to squat down, then straighten your legs.
Before pulling away from a dock, make sure no workers or forklifts are still in the trailer.

Daily Safety Tip:

Use three points of contact.
When getting in or out of your tractor, always maintain three points of contact. Slips, trips and falls are a common cause of injury, so don’t risk it by rushing. Set food, beverages, paperwork or other items on your seat or floor so both hands are free to maintain a firm grip.
