Do you ever wonder why I focus on safety? Because it really matters. Yes it might not make you money, but if you ignore it, it will cost you everything. In this episode, I break down what can quickly shut down your entire trucking company...lawyers. They know what they need and how to get it, and if you aren't prepared, you could be facing a very large problem.

But what's not a problem is getting what you need from my friends over at Ewing Safety and Industrial. Check them out at: ewingsafety.com

That's right folks, we are talking PRE-TRIP INSPECTIONS!!!! They are necessary, they are required, and they can save you in the long run. I'll tell you a tale in today's episode of a time recently when I didn't do a proper pre-trip inspection on a piece of equipment I use and it almost cost me an entire engine. So learn from my mistakes and do a pre-trip.

Also, it's never too early to do some Christmas shopping, and there is no better place to do it than at Ewing Safety and Industrial. Visit them at: www.ewingsafety.com

Hours of Service can seem daunting to both drivers and operations. There is a lot to keep track of, and potentially serious consequences if you don't have everything in order. But just when you think you have everything figured out when it comes to HOS, the FMCSA gives you more options, and again, some of these can be confusing. So for episode 12, I thought I would break down some of those options and show you how they can work in your favor.
