  • Staying Safe at the Pump

    Refueling is an everyday part of trucking. It's done so often, drivers forget the hazards. Flammables, awkward hoses, unsafe surfaces, blind spots or dim lighting around the pump or rig—all of these raise your injury risk.

  • Three-Pointers Get Wins

    The basketball court isn't the only place where three-pointers help you win big! Using three points of contact when entering or exiting step van delivery trucks is always a winning play to help prevent falls. This strategy could have saved a 34-yearold delivery driver a bad ankle sprain that still keeps him off the job, today.

  • Drowsy Driving is Dangerous Driving

    The last thing a truck driver needs is to doze off while at the wheel. Drowsy driving creates a dangerous collision course with injury and death. When driving at 60 miles per hour, each second a rig covers the length of a basketball court—that's nearly 100 feet. Drowsiness affects a driver much like alcohol and drugs. It slows overall reaction time because of reduced hand-eye coordination, vision, judgement and situational awareness. More »

  • Now Hear This!

    Truck drivers work around loud noise hazards! Whether from the ambient sound coming off the rig or from terminals, maintenance shops, warehouses, construction, or airport noise, it can be hard to hear. With all the noise, it's hard to hear warning signals—even without a hearing impairment. Drivers with hearing loss have an even harder time of it. To help, limit daily workplace noise exposures to within NIOSH recommended exposure limits.

  • No Distance, Know Pain

    Truck drivers risk serious injury when they work on or around trucks parked too closely to traffic. Parking your truck a safe distance away helps prevent injury to you and damage to your rig.

  • No Space? Cover Your Face

    Truck drivers travel alone a lot. Isolated in truck cabs, they often have little direct contact with other people. While this may lower their risk of catching or spreading COVID-19, they must still protect themselves and others when making brief stops along their route. The pandemic makes it hard to be sure that the person who talks, coughs or sneezes as they walk by is not infected—some don't realize they are infected.
