Essential Winter Emergency Supplies

As winter approaches, it’s essential to stock your truck with critical emergency supplies. The right gear can make all the difference if you face unexpected winter challenges. Don’t procrastinate — our Canadian weather conditions can change on a dime — ensure you’re prepared!

First, make sure you have snow chains for extra traction and jumper cables to deal with cold-weather battery issues. Equip yourself with a windshield scraper to keep your view clear, and pack extra batteries and flashlights in case of power loss. Flares are also important for signaling help.

Include a shovel for digging out and a radio to stay updated on road conditions. Heavy-duty bungee cords can secure items, while kitty litter or salt helps with tire traction. Always keep at least a half-full tank of fuel, and add anti-gel fuel additive to prevent freezing.

Pack heavy-duty winter clothing, knee pads, blankets, and sleeping bags for warmth. Bring extra food and water, and don’t forget a first aid kit.

Finally, while it’s warm, clean your truck thoroughly inside and out—making winter travel safer and more comfortable. Being proactive can ensure peace of mind when winter weather strikes.

Winter’s approaching: are you prepared?

As the change of seasons approaches, winter in Canada is inevitable, and with it comes the challenge of icy roads and cold temperatures. Now is the perfect time for drivers to take proactive steps in preparing their vehicles for the colder months ahead. Winter breakdowns and slippery conditions can pose serious risks, so it’s always wise to prepare your rig for the worst before the snow starts to fall.

Be sure to check the following systems on your vehicle, or have your mechanic inspect them:

  • Tire pressure
  • Brakes
  • Battery and electrical systems
  • Cooling system
  • Compressed air systems
  • Diesel systems
  • Fuel filters and water separators
  • Oils and lubricants

Taking these steps will ensure your vehicle is ready for the challenges of winter driving. For a more detailed breakdown of each of these checks, visit this link.
