Safety Tips for Business Owners

• Be sure your leased, financed or purchased vehicles are in good condition and are regularly maintained.
• Routine maintenance should include checking for tire wear and other stress points, depending upon distances traveled and the nature of the vehicle.
• Be sure your drivers are properly trained for the vehicles they are using. 
• Regularly retest your drivers on complex vehicles.
• Make sure drivers have periodic vision, hearing and physical exams, including drug and alcohol testing.
• Use qualified repair shops for safe and properly inspected repair services.
• Remind even experienced drivers of heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks of seasonal weather-related hazards, particularly if hazardous road conditions are not part of their regular route.
