Texas Winter Weather Is Here: Is Your Truck Ready?
Texas is getting a taste of serious winter weather this week, and colder temperatures can take a toll on your truck if you’re not prepared. Whether you’re managing a fleet or keeping a single vehicle road-ready, winterizing now can help prevent downtime, costly repairs, and unsafe driving conditions.

Winter Driving Tips to Stay Safe and Prepared
As winter weather rolls in, keep these important reminders in mind:
Plan Ahead
Before hitting the road, check weather forecasts along your entire route. Build in alternate plans in case conditions worsen and allow extra time for travel when winter weather is expected.
Practice Extra Caution
Reduce your speed and increase the distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Snow, ice, and low visibility can significantly impact stopping distances and reaction times.
Keep Your Vehicle Prepped
A quick pre-trip inspection can make all the difference:
- Check tire tread depth and air pressure
- Ensure your battery is fully charged and performing well in cold temperatures
- Confirm windshield wipers are in good condition and washer fluid is full
