Winter Driving Prep

Whether you’re driving a truck or car, winter driving prep is necessary for all! Especially when driving in colder climates such as Eastern Washington and Idaho. Read through these winter driving preparation tips and make sure you’re ready for when the snow begins to fall!

• Inspect your chains for defects at the beginning of each winter season and after each use.
• Stay drier while chaining by using a small tarp or sheet of plastic to lay or kneel on.
• Keep a flashlight or miners lamp and back-up batteries in your truck.
• Keep extra food, water, medications and clothing (especially socks) in your truck in case you are stuck for an extended period of time.
• Wear reflective clothing when outside the truck.
• Keep footwear with extra traction in your truck and change into it before exiting the cab.
• Always wear gloves to maintain your grip and protect your hands.
• Don’t turn your back on traffic while outside the truck.

Be safe and healthy this winter season!
