Pre-trip
Drivers plan the route, inspect equipment, prepare for weather, and put distractions away before the wheels turn.
Safety & SecuritySafe freight starts long before the truck moves.
Safety is how Sierra protects our drivers, our freight, and every person sharing the road.
A shared responsibility
The road asks more of a professional driver.
Trucks move the goods Americans rely on every day. Operating an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer takes skill, patience, and a constant awareness of the road, the trailer, and the people around it.
Respecting traffic laws, seatbelts, blind spots, wide turns, stopping distances, and changing conditions helps prevent serious incidents. It is a commitment shared by our drivers and by everyone around them.
The Sierra safety sequence
On the road
Defensive driving, space awareness, thoughtful speed, and continuous scanning help protect every mile.
At destination
A safe arrival includes secure parking, careful unloading, and a clear inspection of the site and vehicle.
Post-trip
The work closes with a final equipment check, secured doors, and fast escalation when something needs attention.
Prepared for the real world
Thoughtful driving protects everyone.
Driver readiness
Rest, route planning, equipment checks, and a clear mind are all part of a safe departure.
Situational awareness
Drivers scan ahead, account for blind spots, manage curves, and take special care in work and school zones.
Cargo and equipment security
Secure freight, safe unloading, locked equipment, and final inspections keep the trip protected from start to finish.
