Heavy Haul Trailers
2.3.9
Inappropriate Cargo
The trailer may be designed for specific cargo. If your trailer is designed for specific cargo, only carry
that cargo on the trailer. A trailer must not be used to carry certain items, such as people, containers of
hazardous substances or containers of flammable substances.
WARNING! Do not transport people on your trailer. Besides putting their lives at risk,
the transport of people on a trailer is illegal.
WARNING! Do not transport flammable, explosive, poisonous or other dangerous
materials in your trailer.
Exceptions:
• Fuel in the tanks of vehicles that are being towed.
• Fuel stored in the tank of an on-board hydraulic power pack.
2.3.10 Inoperable Lights
Be sure that all of the lights on your trailer are functioning properly before towing your trailer. Lights
on a trailer are controlled via a connection to the tractor, generally a multi-pin electrical connector.
Check the trailer tail and clearance lights by turning on your tractor headlights. Check the trailer brake
lights by having someone step on the tractor brake pedal while you look at trailer lights. Do the same
thing to check the turn signal lights.
WARNING! Improper electrical connection between the tractor and the trailer will result
in inoperable lights, and can lead to collision.
Before each tow:
• Check that the tail lights, clearance lights, flashing or strobe lights, brake lights and
turn signals work.
