How to Prevent Your Semi-Truck from Overheating?

Engine Coolant  & Radiator Cap

Check coolant levels before and after every trip. Check the radiator cap for damage.

Temperature Gauge

Keep an eye on your temperature gauge while driving. If it goes outside of the recommended limit, pull over.

Check for  Hot Tires

On hot days, pull over and check your tires for heat every 100 miles. When tires overheat, they blow out or catch fire.

Check the Oil

Change your oil according to manufacturer recommendations and your fleet maintenance schedule. 

Driver Training

Training drivers on the best driving practices in hot weather is key. Adjusting driving habits can help prevent semi-truck cooling problems.
