Truckers, eager to ensure your safety in docking areas? First, it's important to be visible when working around heavy equipment (hence the high-vis) even in docking areas! Here are 6 more things to keep in mind when it comes to dock safety: 1) Wear closed-toe shoes or boots when working. 2) Stand behind the driver's side door when opening the trailer doors. 3) Stay away from the sides of trailers when they're being loaded. 4) Wait for the green light before moving your truck away from the dock.
