Unloading a dump truck can be a hazardous operation, particularly when the ground is uneven or when the load is being delivered into a pit. . . . . . #dumptruckoperator #dumptruck #forklifttraining #bulldozertraining #excavatoroperator #excavatorlife #excavatortraining #payloader #dozer #skidwheels #backhoe #backhoeloader #wheelloader #wtinsitute

TRACTOR TRAILER HAUL TRUCKS SAFETY Thank you MSHA for sharing the valuable learnings from this tragedy. It also applies to many other applications involving tractor trailer haul trucks On January 2, 2024, the driver of an over the road tractor-trailer haul truck died when the trailer tipped over onto the cab of the tractor. The driver was dumping part of the load of gravel from the trailer. Between 2018 and 2024, mine operators reported 14 injury accidents where over the road trucks tipped or rolled over while dumping. During the same period, miners were also injured when 28 off-road mine haul trucks tipped or rolled over. The accidents can be prevented with proper training and following best practices: Best Practices: Dump only on level surfaces, free of spillage. Make sure elevated dump sites are substantial and equipped with adequate dump point restraints.  Keep your truck and trailer in a straight line when backing up and never move faster than walking speed. Avoid dumping in high or gusty wind conditions. Stay in the cab with your seatbelt on during the dumping process. Never attempt to exit or jump from an overturning truck. After dumping, remove any compacted material before reloading the truck. Evenly distribute the load and use antifreeze in cold weather to prevent material from freezing and sticking in the truck bed. Never overload trucks or trailers.

Tool #3 every tractor trailer operator should carry. Besides the obvious #1, a flashlight and #2 a claw hammer, every operator of commercial vehicles with a gladhand attachment should carry this in their tool kit. Large companies can save thousands per year and downtime and service calls. Drivers who know they have a soft tire but not enough hours in their logs can make it home without risking a lengthy service call. Fewer blowouts creating debris will end up on the roadways we share with other vehicles. Less roadside tire repairs thus protecting the lives of the amazing tire repair technicians that work all hours in good weather and bad. I have had this tool for almost 30 years and is the best investment I ever made when I was an Owner Operator. #truckers #transportation #safety

Change is necessary and inevitable. The North American Class 8 tractor trailer connector is overdue in my opinion. https://lnkd.in/gBrbyR8s #safety #productivity #efficiency #operations #tractor #trailer #connector #limitations
