When checking the tires as part of a pre-trip inspection, make sure the tires have sufficient tread. There should be at least 4/32 of an inch of tread in every major groove of the front tires, and at least 2/32 of an inch of tread depth on the other tires. Tire sizes should not be mismatched.

Shippers of hazardous materials are required to provide proper shipping papers to communicate the risks of the materials.
