🚛 Operation Safe Driver Week is Here! 🚓
📅 July 13-19, 2025
👮‍♂️ Sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA)
This year’s focus: Speeding – the #1 cause of crashes on our roads.
Let’s work together to make our highways safer! Here are some essential tips to keep in mind during this enforcement initiative — and all year round:
________________________________________
🔹 For Commercial Drivers:
• Mind the Speed Limits: Obey posted limits, especially in construction zones and residential areas.
• Leave Room: Maintain a safe following distance — stopping a big rig takes time.
• Log Legally: Make sure your Hours of Service (HOS) records are up to date.
• Stay Rested: Drowsy driving is dangerous — take required breaks and get quality rest.
• Inspect Daily: Conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections to prevent roadside violations.
________________________________________
🔹 For All Drivers:
• Don’t Tailgate: Trucks have blind spots — avoid lingering beside or behind them.
• Be Predictable: Use turn signals, avoid sudden lane changes, and give plenty of notice.
• Put the Phone Down: No text is worth a life. Drive distraction-free.
• Buckle Up: Simple. Lifesaving.
• Respect the Road: Share the highway responsibly with commercial drivers.

💡 Did You Know?
During last year’s campaign, tens of thousands of drivers were pulled over for unsafe driving behaviors. Don’t be a statistic — be part of the solution.
🛑 Drive smart. Drive safe. Drive to survive.
