MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKE WORKS

Test the brake on your truck at the start of each shift.
Know the distance it takes to stop before you start
working.

If at any time the stopping distance is too long for you
to stop safely, don't drive the truck. Report any
problem to your supervisor.

SIMILAR LOOKING TRUCKS CAN BE DIFFERENT

Your company has selected the options which are best
for your work area.     

If you ever drive a different truck, even one that looks
just like yours, be careful. It may not have the same
controls, functions, or options.
