?? Winter Roads, Safe Travels ?? The first snowfall is here, and it’s a good time to brush up on some winter driving basics. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a car or a semi-truck, these tips can help keep everyone safe: 1?? Take it Slow – Snow and ice mean longer stopping distances. Speeding is a recipe for sliding. 2?? Stay Visible – Clear off all your windows, mirrors, and lights before you hit the road. 3?? Mind Your Space – Keep a safe distance from other vehicles. Brakes don’t like surprises on icy roads. 4?? Be Prepared – Keep essentials like blankets, a flashlight, and a phone charger in case of an emergency. 5?? Know When to Stay Home – If it’s not safe, it’s not worth it. Winter driving is a team effort—let’s look out for one another out there. What’s your go-to winter safety tip? Share it below! ??

As part of our Community Outreach efforts, our team recently had the pleasure of visiting the Wisconsin Humane Society! We spent the day making hand-tied fleece blankets to help the cats feel a little more comfortable as they wait for their forever homes. ???? If you’re looking to adopt, the Wisconsin Humane Society has plenty of wonderful cats ready to find their new families! ????

?? Spooky Season Driving Tips: Keep the Haunts Off the Highway! ?? Fall roads can be a bit of a fright this time of year, but don’t let them give you the chills. Here’s how to keep your driving experience free of any highway horrors: Beware the Leaves of Doom ??: Wet leaves can be as slick as a witch’s brew! Slow down on leaf-covered roads to avoid the slip ‘n slide effect. Check Your Tire Pressure (No Tricks!) ??: Cooler temps can drop your tire pressure faster than a ghostly wail. Double-check those tires – it’s no time for scary surprises! Avoid the Headless Horseman’s Haze ???: Foggy mornings and evenings are peak haunting hours. Keep those lights on and go slow in areas prone to the fog—don’t let a phantom fog bank catch you by surprise! Monster-Proof Your Windshield ??: Summer’s leftover bug splatters can make driving at night a real horror show. Give that windshield a good clean so you don’t feel like you’re seeing things that aren’t there. Stay on Guard for Nighttime Creatures ??: Deer and other creatures are most active around dawn and dusk, ready to jump out like surprise zombies. Take it easy in wooded areas – they’re in full scare mode too! Have a safe and spook-free drive this Halloween season! And remember, the only spooky things on the road should be your car decorations. ????

Last week, our team had the opportunity to observe the process of truck undecking. It's fascinating to see the skill and precision required to safely and efficiently handle these heavy vehicles. Shoutout to our driver Kevin for showing us the ropes. Drivers like Kevin make this process look so seamless! Their expertise ensures that these trucks are ready for customers in no time. ?? Check out the photo from last week's session – witnessing the undecking firsthand was a valuable experience for all of us.
