Unveiling the truth behind truck accidents! ❓Myth: Truck drivers are always responsible for truck accidents. ✅ Fact: Truck drivers, trucking companies, manufacturers, loading docks, and others can all be held liable for truck accidents if they played a role in the accident. For example, the trucking company may have failed to complete routine maintenance, causing the brake to fail. Or the company who loaded the truck may have done so incorrectly, causing the truck to be difficult to maneuver or be unsafe in some other way. #truckaccident #semitruck #truckingaccident #myth #truckaccidentlawyer #WHG #WernerHoffmanGreig

Safety tip from our Shop Coordinator, David! Tires are one of the most crucial parts of driving safely, so it’s essential to check them the right way. Hitting or kicking your tire isn’t effective. Instead, use a tire thumper, hit the tire hard, and get familiar with the sound. If it sounds hollow, that tire isn’t safe to drive on. Always use a tire thumper, and reach out to the shop with any concerns. Let’s keep safety rolling! 🚛💥 . . . #SuperTTransport #TruckDriverTips #SafetyFirst #TireSafety #OnTheRoad #DriverSuccess

As a truck driver, you need to keep track of many things when you’re picking up, transporting, and delivering loads. Not only do you need to navigate your way to your next dropoff location and stay focused for hours at a time, but you’ll also need to pay attention to handling potentially dangerous road conditions like potholes etc, practice defensive driving, and try to stop at some truck stops and take at least a 30 minutes break. You’ll also need to use cargo securement devices such as( Belt\straps, or chains) to ensure your loads won’t shift or fall out during your journey. Unfortunately, many people overlook the importance of load securement. Instead of investing in quality cargo securement devices and taking the time to secure loads before each trip, they just throw everything in the back of the truck and hope for the best. Neglecting proper cargo securement is both incredibly irresponsible and highly dangerous for you yourself, your (motor boy), your cargo, other drivers, and the workers who will eventually unload your load. Remember that improperly securing of loads means more expenses and harm. So please let us all be professional and be safe. Thank you.
