What fun to watch our employees' families playing and learning neighborhood safety at Portsmouth Safety Town over the weekend. Our tunnel replica in the pint-size town where children learn essential pedestrian and bicycle safety skills through interactive activities was a hit!

It’s National Trailer Safety Week! 🛻🛥️ Handling a heavy load changes everything about how your vehicle drives.

Don't hit the road without checking these 4 rules:
💪 Ensure your vehicle can safely handle the trailer's max weight
⚖️ Load the front half heavier to prevent dangerous trailer sway
🪢 Use heavy-duty straps so cargo can't shift
🔗 Cross safety chains in case of hitch failure

Traffic crashes are a leading cause of death for teens 15-18 years old❗

Parents — with summer right around the corner, now's the time to make sure your teen is following the rules of the road:
🔴 Buckle up
⚫ Follow the speed limit
🔴 Limit passengers
⚫ Don't drive drowsy
🔴 Never drive impaired
