Interstate 80 throughout Carbon County, as well as some of the state highways here, see a lot of people moving things—big and small—from one place to another. Not all of it is commercial.

A lot of do-it-yourselfers are moving stuff, locally and even across the country. Here’s an important reminder from the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

Today, June 6, is “Secure Your Load Day.”

It’s all about raising awareness about securing vehicle items to ensure road safety. Awareness about securing loads isn’t just about commercial truck drivers. Novices need to be aware about securing loads, especially when moving household or job-related items.

Even a simple trip across town can result in disaster if you don’t secure your load properly.

Don’t count on luck. Before hitting the road, take a moment to inspect your vehicle and the items you are transporting to ensure they are correctly secured.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol reminds you to secure your load, not just today, but every time you hit the road.
