Trailer Cleanliness Reminder
We’ve received feedback from both food-grade customers and drivers about the importance of keeping trailers clean. Sweeping out trailers is not only a customer requirement, but it also prevents rejected equipment, frustration, and unnecessary costs.
Please keep the following in mind:
- Always sweep out trailers when dropping them. Many rejections occur simply because trailers are left dirty. A rejected trailer creates frustration for customers and adds unnecessary expense when another driver has to bring a clean one.
- Helpful tools for cleaning trailers (shared by Bobby Miller):
- Leaf blower
- Broom
- 5-gallon bucket (for collecting and disposing of debris)
- Flashlight (to spot glass or dirt at the front of the trailer)
- Crowbar/hammer (to pull up nails)
Keeping trailers clean is a small step that makes a big impact on our reputation, customer satisfaction, and overall efficiency. Thank you for doing your part!
End-of-Rotation Reminder
Before heading home on your last day of rotation, please check in with Dispatch. Don’t assume you’re automatically done for the week—sometimes last-minute needs come up that require a hand. A quick check-in helps prevent miscommunication and keeps things running smoothly for the whole team.
In short, swept trailers and a quick check with Dispatch = happy customers, smoother operations, and less stress for everyone. Thanks for helping us keep things running smoothly
