🌞🛣️🚗 Summer brings more road trips, vacations, and busy roadways, making it even more important to drive with extra awareness around large trucks and buses. 🚛🚌 Remember, they have four major blind spots—directly in front, behind, and along both sides. If you can't see the driver's face in their mirror, they likely can't see you. Stay out of these blind spots whenever possible, pass with care, and give large vehicles the space they need so everyone can arrive safely.

Keeping Roads Safer Through Hands-On Education 🚛 FMCSA’s New Jersey Division recently joined a statewide delivery and logistics safety event in Edison, New Jersey, bringing together safety professionals, logistics managers, and CMV drivers from across the industry. FMCSA provided practical guidance on Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, including pre-trip inspections, vehicle maintenance requirements, and what drivers and carriers can expect during roadside inspections. The goal was simple: turn regulations into real-world understanding that supports safer operations on the road.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! Thank you to the men and women who keep this great country moving and connected.

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, millions of Americans will hit the road to explore the nation's incredible landmarks, national parks, beaches, and historic destinations. Wherever your travels take you, be prepared for work zones along the way. Work zones create unique driving conditions that require your full attention. Slow down and obey posted speed limits, give large trucks and buses extra space, watch for shifting traffic patterns and narrowing lanes, and stay alert for roadway workers. Every safe choice you make helps protect the people building and maintaining our roads—and helps ensure everyone arrives at their destination safely. 🇺🇸🚧

🔗 Looking for a quick reminder before every trip? The FMCSA GPS Visor Card is a great resource to help drivers avoid bridge strikes by using truck-specific navigation and planning safe routes. Check it out here: fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/carrier…

🚛 "Don't Guess, Assess: Professional Clearance." 🌉📏 Know your exact vehicle height before you move. A few inches can be the difference between a safe trip and a costly bridge strike. Detour ahead? Don't follow the crowd. Use truck-specific GPS, watch for low-clearance signs, and GOAL (Get Out And Look) if you're unsure. How do you verify your route clearances before heading into unfamiliar territory? #CommitToClearanceSafety #BridgeStrikePrevention #TruckSafety #KnowYourHeight #CDL #SafetyFirst
