In 2012, 756 truck drivers were killed due to a work-related injury and over 65,000 had to take time off work after a workplace injury. Seventy percent of fatal truck driver injuries were due to roadway accidents. Stay safe on the road by following these four tips:

1. Perform regular truck maintenance
A quick check of your truck every morning can keep you safe on the road. Before heading out for the day, make sure your truck is in proper working order:- Do your brakes and horn work properly?
- Are your mirrors intact and correctly positioned?
- Are your truck’s brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid at the correct level?
- Are there any coolant or oil leaks?
