Know your vehicle. Know your load. Rollovers are frequent and serious, even fatal, incidents.

Heavy vehicle rollovers have a high-risk of severe injury or death for those involved. International studies show around 65% of heavy vehicle incidents related to rollover and lateral stability, occur in in curves or corners. In rollovers the trailer tips over first, and it can take up to a couple of seconds before the vehicle driver notices it.
