AKRON-WESTFIELD 2ND

GRADERS VISIT HEYL

Each year, the Akron-Westfield 2nd graders visit Heyl

Truck Lines to learn about the Transportation Indus-

try. The kids spend time learning about Safety and

Operations, and get to tour a truck! The kids were

surprised by how many miles drivers travel each

year and how much weight our trucks and trailers

can hold. Heyl looks forward to their visit each year!

PHOTO OF THE MONTH

In memory of Roger Lee Moore

It is with great sadness that we

announce the passing of one of

our longtime drivers, Roger

Moore.

Roger was an OTR driver with

Heyl for 15 years. During his time

with us, he drove over 1.7 million

miles. Roger was a pleasure to

work with and will be missed by

all who knew him.

Please keep his wife and family in

your thoughts and prayers.

Camden Jay Congratulations to Justin and

Ashley Smith on the birth of their

son, Camden Jay. Ashley works

in Customer Service at our Akron,

IA terminal.

During your daily routine, you may work with the

trailer numerous times. It is important to develop

proper techniques when raising and lowering the

landing gear/dollies. Below is a list of helpful tips

to keep in mind:

• Body position is key – stand on one side of the

crank with both feet planted firmly on the

ground and your body facing the trailer. Do not place your hands on or near the pinch point.

Keep your body outside the swing area.

• When possible, dump your tractor’s air bags before pulling out from underneath a trailer to help

prevent binding the dollies.

• When hooking up, back under the trailer with your air bags dumped. After your fifth-wheel engag-

es, air-up your suspension to relieve some of the trailer weight from the dollies.

• If the dollies crank hard or the handle is broken or sharp, report this issue to the person in charge of

maintenance as soon as possible. Proper maintenance and lubrication can reduce the potential

for injury.

• If you run into a situation where you have to crank against extreme resistance, it is always better to

push on the crank rather than pull on it.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance. Take turns when turning a stubborn dolly, to minimize the

possibility of a strain-injury.

• Always secure the handle when finished.

• Wear gloves.

CRANKING DOLLIES

Coming Summer 2018...

We are excited to announce that driver facilities

are in the process of being upgraded at our

Akron and Zephyrhills Terminals!

The Akron terminal will be closing down “The

Hilton” and implementing 24/7 access to a

restroom with shower, laundry, and lounge area

all in the Safety Building.

The Zephyrhills terminal will be upgrading their

current driver amenities.

Thank you—Heyl Management
