CAJON PASS, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> It’s National Trailer Safety Week! Trailer Safety Week is an annual nation-wide awareness campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the importance of being committed to trailer safety, educating users about proper trailer maintenance and usage.
Handling a heavy load changes everything about how your vehicle drives.
Don’t hit the road without checking these 4 rules:
💪 Ensure your vehicle can safely handle the trailer’s max weight
⚖️ Load the front half heavier to prevent dangerous trailer sway
🪢 Use heavy-duty straps so cargo can’t shift
🔗 Cross safety chains in case of hitch failure
Regular trailer maintenance is critical to ensuring the longevity of your trailer, as well as making sure you are able to tow to your destination safely. Before towing, make sure your trailer and its many components are in safe working order. Check all the trailer light to make sure they are working. Worn or broken trailer parts can cause loss of control and injury may result. You must inspect, maintain and service your trailer regularly to insure safe and reliable operation.
