Description
Winter weather can turn Nebraska highways into a challenge for even the most experienced drivers. Join the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Nebraska State Patrol, and the Nebraska Trucking Association for a practical webinar on winter road closures, staying safe, and being prepared during winter driving conditions.
We’ll cover key safety guidelines, including adjusting speed and increasing following distance, handling black ice, avoiding cruise control, and sharing the road safely with snowplows. Learn how to prepare your vehicle, plan your trip, and respond effectively if you skid or get stuck.
Fremont Contract Carriers will join us to share best practices for communicating with drivers during severe winter weather events.
Whether you’re a professional driver, fleet manager, or safety coordinator, this session will help you protect yourself, your cargo, and everyone on the road this winter.
