Trailer sway can be an incredibly stressful scenario, even for seasoned tower operators. If you ever encounter this situation, keep this phrase in mind:

✅ Gas off
✅ Brake off
✅Steer straight
✅ And WAIT
DO NOT attempt to control sway by turning the steering wheel as it will only make the issue worse. If you have a brake controller, gently apply only the trailer brakes. For more tips on safely driving with a trailer, visit https://buff.ly/3C7u45l

🔍 Trailer Tip: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is like a trailer's fingerprint, revealing key info like model year and origin. Make sure your VIN label is visible on the left side of your trailer! If it's missing, don't worry - there might be a hidden VIN somewhere. Contact the manufacturer or your DMV for help tracking it down.

When thinking about cargo securement, it’s important to remember that you are securing the load for sudden stops and trailer sway, not just for normal driving conditions. #CargoSecurement #TrailerSafetyWeek #TrailerSafety #KeepOnHauling

Federal regulation governs cargo securement for various commodities and for commercial towing. While these regulations apply to a specific towing audience, these practices might still be advisable in non-commercial settings. 💡 Learn more about cargo securement regulations here: https://buff.ly/43J5QtW

🚗 Properly loading and distributing cargo in your tow vehicle and trailer is crucial for safe and smooth travels! Here are some tips to improve control:
✅ Balance weight from side to side
✅ Distribute cargo evenly along the trailer's length or heavier in the front
✅ Secure items to prevent shifting
✅ Adjust tow vehicle/trailer interface height
✅ Consider load-leveling hitch bars if needed

Remember, your trailer and tow vehicle should be level or slightly depressed at the hitch during travel. Check your manuals for specific guidelines! 🛣️
