Story - The Law of Garbage Trucks!! taken up recently during briefing sessions at #consulttrans Sixteen years ago I learnt an important life lesson, in the back of a New York City taxi cab. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by mere inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was actually friendly! So, I asked him, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and could've sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me about what I now call, "The Law of Garbage Trucks." "Many people are like Garbage Trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. Instead, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happier because you did." Wow. That really got me thinking about how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? AND, how often do I then take their garbage and spread it onto other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I resolved, "I'm not going to do it anymore." Since then, I have started to see Garbage Trucks everywhere. Just as the kid in the Sixth Sense movie said, "I see dead people," I can now say, "I see Garbage Trucks." :) I see the load they're carrying ... I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on. #managedmobility #ets #mindfulness #safety #officecommute #lawofgargbagebags

The exact definition of distracted driving is fairly straightforward: if you engage in an activity that takes your eyes off the road, you are driving distracted. From drinking coffee to checking on the kids in the rearview mirror, distracted driving is all too common, but it is incredibly dangerous—and the data proves it. Trimac's Action Against Distraction campaign aims to raise awareness about the serious issue of distracted driving and encourage everyone to prioritize safety. As a leader in the transportation industry, it is our responsibility to guarantee that we are all doing our part to promote road safety.

By slowing down, paying attention, and being alert, you can save workers' lives, not to mention your own. Distracted driving is already a huge risk, but around workzones that risk is multiplied for workers, drivers, and passengers alike. In fact, the vast majority of fatalities in workzone car accidents are drivers and their passengers.

🚛 Winter Roads & Garbage Trucks: Safety First! ❄️ With snow and ice on the roads, it's important to keep safety in mind—especially when sharing the road with garbage trucks. Here are a few tips to help everyone stay safe this season: 1️⃣ Keep Your Distance: Garbage trucks make frequent stops, and they’re heavier, meaning longer stopping distances. Stay back to give them plenty of room to operate. 2️⃣ Stay Visible: Trucks have large blind spots, so avoid driving directly behind or alongside them for long periods. Make sure the driver can see you in their mirrors. 3️⃣ Be Patient: Waste collection is critical work, even on snowy days! If a truck is blocking your path, wait until it’s safe to pass—never try to squeeze by in icy conditions. A little extra caution goes a long way in keeping our roads safe for drivers, garbage collectors, and everyone in the community.

Did you know more than 50,000 people have made a pledge to #DriveSoOthersSurvive? The pledge is an initiative of National Road Safety Week (5-12 May 2024). Pledging means you will drive as if your loved ones are on the road ahead, driving to protect vulnerable people travelling or working on our roadside, not putting others at risk by speeding, driving while tired or under the influence of alcohol/drugs, and never using a mobile phone while driving. So, take the pledge and make every journey safe. https://lnkd.in/g2SFvFt
