Secure Your Load Awareness Day
2019-06-05 - 2019-06-06 | RI
A day to remember how important it is to properly secure any items being transported in trucks.
Debris can quickly fly when not secure. This causes hazards and many accidents or death to persons traveling behind these vehicles.
It can also leave items dangerously on the roads that hopefully drivers can avoid and can leave our roads becoming littered with trash that is very difficult to remove.
Watch why it is so important to SECURE YOUR LOAD this day and everyday.
Please share with other so we all feel safe driving behind vehicles while they are transporting items.
