This pre-departure checklist is a great tool for your customers. Before towing a trailer, make sure the tow vehicle and trailer maintenance is current. This is very important because towing puts additional stress on the tow vehicle.

Thanks for this great article and providing education about towing. One additional point extremely important is that safety must be ensured while driving as well. When towing your vehicle for a long distance you need to check every 50 miles everything is OK. That means stoping on a rest area and checking the chains ares still properly attached, the wires connected, etc. It's crucial for towing safety.

Thank you so much for pointing out that you need to make sure the wiring to your truck is secure so that all of the blinkers and slop lights work, but the cord needs to be long enough that you can turn without it getting damaged. About a week ago, I was talking to my godfather, and he mentioned that he wants to purchase a trailer so that he can go camping more often and still have nice amenities. I hope that he gets any trailer inspected before he goes on a trip so that he knows it is safe.

It made sense when you said that the brakes on the trailer should be checked before transit to make sure they're working properly. My brother told me he's looking into buying a side tipper trailer he can use to move materials when he opens his local service business this summer. I'll pass along your safety tips so he can get into the habit of going through the checklist before towing the trailer!

I like your suggestion to double-check that the safety chinas are properly crossed and have enough slack to safely make turns. My dad wants to rent a gravel trailer to help with a big landscaping project he's planning for his rural property this summer. This advice should help him avoid common issues when driving with the trailer, so I'll be sure to share them with my dad soon!

It's critical to phone 911 after you've reached a safe location. The authorities can assist in traffic control (if necessary), arranging for EMS, and documenting the accident's circumstances. While the police cannot decide culpability, this documentation will aid you in filing a claim with your insurance company later on. The police report may also influence whether or not the driver's insurance will cover the towing costs.

It helped when you wrote that you should check to make sure that all attached stabilizers are raised and locked in properly. My friend mentioned that their construction project needs a side tipper trailer. I think they should look for a supplier that offers reliable units.
