With temperatures set to soar across the UK this week, staying safe on the road is more important than ever. 🌡️🚛
Extreme heat doesn't just affect drivers – it puts extra strain on your HGV too.
Before setting off, it's worth taking a few extra minutes to check:
✅ Tyres – correct pressures and tread condition
✅ Wheel hubs & bearings – unusual heat, noise or play
✅ Brakes – excessive heat can reduce braking performance
✅ Coolant and engine fluids – low levels can quickly lead to overheating
While you're on the road:
💧 Stay hydrated and take regular breaks.
🕶️ Be prepared for sun glare with suitable eyewear.
🌡️ Keep an eye on your temperature gauges and don't ignore warning lights.
A five-minute walkaround check could prevent hours of downtime—and more importantly, help keep you and everyone else on the road safe.
From everyone at CV Hubs & Bearings, stay safe, stay cool, and have a great week on the road.
