As we slowly slide into warmer weather, the temptation to spring clean, start that big renovation project, and begin bigger work operations outdoors again begins afresh. As we wade through the messy spring thaw, it's good to be reminded about how to haul equipment all over again. Let's make sure that we do things the safe way for another successful busy season.
Here's some things to keep in mind about hauling cargo and equipment.

Here's a few more tips to keep in mind.
Also make sure to inspect everything before you begin your trip, and during the trip if it's of any significant distance. You'll want to be inspecting that the cargo or equipment being hauled is secure, your securing devices, and that all tiedowns are taut.
It is the law to make sure you are securing your cargo and equipment before hauling, and not doing so could seriously hurt someone, so make sure to take all of this to heart.
If you'd like more in-depth training on this, TT&S does have an entire training on the subject, to either present for you or to be used as training materials for your staff to use. We'd be more than happy to help you out either way.
