They inspect the engine compartments, wheels and tires, brakes and underside, outside of the cab, cargo area, and inside the cab twice a day to ensure safety.

Lacing tires
The art of loading an ATD truck
Our drivers go above and beyond every day to ensure the safe and proper storage, loading, and unloading of tires. The way we load an ATD truck correctly is pivotal both for safety and for sustainability. It's important to ensure we have as many tires as we can fit in a truck to decrease the number of trips that have to be made on the road. Lacing tires is our way to pack the trucks full. Lacing allows us to effectively use the space within our trucks, and makes room for 25-30% more product. Have you ever wondered how the drivers can fit so many tires in the truck? Watch this video to see how skillful our team is.
