Stay Hydrated: Our drivers keep themselves hydrated to maintain focus and avoid fatigue.

Rest Breaks: Regular rest breaks are taken to ensure our drivers remain alert and refreshed.

Sunglasses for Safety: Sunglasses are a must to protect against glare and improve visibility.

Watch for Construction: Summer is a popular time for road construction. Our drivers stay alert for changing traffic patterns and construction zones.

At Cooper Freight, we’re committed to the safety of our drivers and the secure delivery of your goods. As we celebrate National Sunglasses Day, we’re reminded of the importance of road safety, especially during the summer months. We’re proud to serve our customers with safety and efficiency at the forefront of our operations.
