    Should be everywhere. If have had other drivers laugh becuase I look around a new location for hazards, like low wire, pipes, propane tanks, etc.... If its new to the company I work for I do a hazard map and send it back to dispatch, hmm more oil patch, drilling site SOP.

    It’s amazing how many things i find when I do that final walk around. Side box open, winch bar sitting on deck, dunnage not nailed down, etc.

    I actually like to record at least when a equipment change in involved. I try to take a shot of the locking bar on the 5th wheel, and any damage at a minimum. Saved my butt more than once. Pepsi Lckd 5th wheel.jpg Pepsi tmp mirror repair.jpg

    It takes less than a minute to do a walk around. That first picture is worth an extra look.

    Having someone, anyone, coming across the center line and hitting me headon. Anyone headed my way, I got my eyes on you until you're past me. And walkarounds are always a good idea.

    We call that the Circle of Safety.

    SOP at Cemex anytime you exit the cab for any reason. Good habit to carry with you everywhere.
