The Minnesota Trucking Association (MTA) has announced a year-long effort to provide information and training to its members and their drivers to improve road safety. The “Keep Both Hands on the Wheel” campaign will focus on reducing distracted driving by engaging truckers, their employers, contractors and the public to follow safe driving habits.

Safer roads will help ease the economic impact on families, businesses and the entire state. Road accidents not only cost lives, they affect insurance rates, shipping and other costs. In the end, safer roads benefit everyone. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS), reducing accidents and traffic deaths requires drivers to make safer, smarter decisions behind the wheel. Distraction is often a contributing factor to fatal crashes or serious injury.
