Every day on the road, I see cars with one headlight out, and honestly, they look a little silly. It got me thinking – as truck drivers, we can’t afford to look like that. Our rigs are big, bold, and professional. Missing a light makes us stand out, but not in a good way.
Lights are critical for safety. They help us see the road and make sure others see us, especially in the dark or bad weather. That’s why it’s so important to check your lights every day. Walk around your truck and trailer before you hit the road. Check the headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
You wouldn’t want other drivers – or worse, your family – pointing out you’re missing a light, right? So let’s keep our rigs sharp and safe. A quick check can make all the difference. Stay safe out there!
