Happy Driver Appreciation week!
Safety is our highest priority.
This week: 157 total inspections – 105 clean (67% clean rate).
- For every clean inspection:
  - $100 for owner/operators
  - $25 for company drivers
- Make sure your fire extinguishers and all three triangles are secured in your truck.
- Log your personal conveyance correctly and without violation.
  - If you don’t know how/when to log personal conveyance, get with your log advisor.
- Snow has started to fall out west in the mountains, winter is coming!
  - The number 1 reason for winter accidents is speed.
  - If you don’t feel safe driving in the conditions, park your truck and let your fleet manager know.

Terry Wood – Detail Shop

Come check out our interior body shop; we can fix damaged seats!
Lease operators: before you turn in your truck, bring it in to the detail shop to get your estimate.
We also have storage for personal items when you’re in between trucks.
If you have a pet on your truck, I highly recommend getting an air gun to blow out all the fur.
- We also have a pet wash inside the shop.
We are the furthest North building in the Springfield, Mo terminal.
We are open between 0600-0200, depending on demand

Tyler Patrick – SLC Maintenance

When the temperature drops below freezing, make sure you treat your fuel with anti-gel, even if the fuel says it’s pretreated.
You can never put too much anti-gel in.
Keep diesel 911 on your trucks.
- If your fuel does coagulate, this will turn it back to liquid.
After you treat your fuel, let your bunk heater run for 10-15 minutes to get the treated fuel into your lines.
Drain your air tanks every day.
Watch our winter tip videos on the Prime App.
If you have to call a tow truck because of gelled up fuel, it can cost upwards of $1,500.
