Before a trip, you should ensure that air reaches all air brakes on all trailers by opening up the rear emergency line and service line shut-off valves to listen for escaping air. Close both shut-off valves before beginning to drive.
In construction zones, do not exceed the posted safe sped limit. Slow down even more when workers are near the roadway.
To improve visibility, you should use high beam headlights at night where it is safe and legal to do so. However, the glare from high beam lights can blind other drivers. You should dim your lights to their low beam setting when driving within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle.
It is important for you to be aware of your surroundings at all times. To do this, regularly check your mirrors.
During a pre-trip inspection, belts in the engine compartment should be checked for tightness and excessive wear.
When turning quickly to avoid an object, turn only as much as is necessary to clear it. Do not apply the brakes while turning.
Aggressive driving is defined as operating a motor vehicle in a selfish, bold, or pushy manner, without regard for the rights or safety of others.

The function of an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is to prevent a vehicle's wheels from locking up during hard braking.
Always downshift before beginning to drive downhill. Forcing an automatic transmission into a lower gear at a high speed could damage the transmission and also lead to a loss of ability to engine brake. Drive at a speed that will allow you to control your vehicle without overusing your brakes. When determining a safe speed to drive, you should take into account the steepness of the grade, the length of the grade, the weight of your vehicle, road conditions, and weather conditions.
Press the brake pedal down smoothly and gradually every time you slow or stop. The amount of brake pressure you need to apply depends on the speed of your vehicle and how quickly you need to stop.
Air tanks should be drained daily to remove water and oil buildup. An excess of oil and water in the air tanks can interfere with proper brake function.
A tank vehicle transporting liquids is less stable than other vehicles and may be prone to roll over or skid if not operated in a safe manner.
