Always keep spill control equipment available. Inevitably, accidents do happen and your response will, in large part, determine the extent of the problem. If a spill occurs, first remove any persons exposed to the material from the source of contamination, treat them, and then contain and absorb the pesticide. Fleet vehicles can be an important tool in terms of acquiring and keeping customers. Trucks that are stained with pesticides, have granules and dirt in the bed, carry old and poorly serviced application equipment, or simply present an unkempt appearance do nothing to secure customer confidence in your business.
Fleet vehicles can say quite a lot about the capabilities of their owner.
Along those same lines, your trucks represent a sizeable investment. The simple act of a regular inspection can increase their useful life and their value to you. Advertise your company proudly. Recognize the value of regular vehicle inspections. Pesticides and Commercial Vehicle Maintenance , August 1993, Purdue University, Cooperative Extension Service.
