Did you know?

Every day, thousands of truck drivers risk injuring their ankles, knees and lower back by jumping from their cabs or trailers without using grab rails and steps, according to a study by the Liberty Mutual Research Center for Safety and Health in Hopkinton, MA.

Jumping from the tractor or trailer can result in impact forces 10 to 12 times that of a driver’s body weight, according to the study. Using steps and rails can reduce those forces by 75% to 80%.  This means at 200 lbs jumping from your trailer puts up to 2000 lbs of impact force on your knees and ankles.

Safety experts recommend a three-point system for climbing on and off your rig. This means three limbs are in contact with the vehicle or trailer at all times, either two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand.

Getting In And Out Of Your Truck or Trailer

  • Use the three-point system. Keep three limbs in contact with the vehicle at all times, whether it’s two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand.
  • Wear sturdy shoes with slip-resistant soles.
  • Before climbing down, look to see what you’re going to be stepping onto — potholes, ice, snow or debris on the ground can lead to a twisted ankle or worse.
  • Get off the same way you got on — facing the cab or trailer.
  • Don’t jump from the cab or trailer.
  • Check the steps and handrails during your pre-trip inspections. Make sure they’re well-maintained.
  • Don’t use tires or wheel hubs as step surfaces, or door frames as a handhold.
  • Keep your hands free — don’t try to climb while carrying paperwork, clipboards, tools or the groceries you just bought to stock your sleeper refrigerator.
