☀️ AUGUST SAFETY MESSAGE: HEAT, HYDRATION & HIGHWAY SAFETY 🚛
August heat can take a toll on both drivers and equipment. Long hours behind the wheel, loading and unloading, roadside inspections, and working around trucks in extreme temperatures can increase the risk of fatigue, dehydration, and mistakes.
Before hitting the road, remember to:
💧 Stay hydrated throughout the day—don’t wait until you feel thirsty.
☀️ Know the signs of heat illness: dizziness, headache, nausea, weakness, confusion, and excessive sweating.
🛞 Check your tires. Summer heat can increase tire pressure and contribute to tire failures.
🔧 Complete a thorough pre-trip inspection, including tires, brakes, fluids, lights, and other safety-critical equipment.
😴 Never push through fatigue. Heat and long workdays can make tired driving even more dangerous.
🚧 Slow down and stay alert in work zones. Summer means increased construction and changing traffic patterns.
Safety isn't just about staying compliant—it's about making sure every driver makes it home safely.
🚛 Stay cool. Stay alert. Stay safe.
