While on Dixie Plywood property or on the property of a Dixie customer, vehicle operators should be aware that the campuses are active with people. Drivers should be very careful in operating their vehicle, so they do not endanger anyone. They should always travel at a safe speed and without distractions.

Dixie has established these guidelines for Safe Unloading and Loading of merchandise to prevent injuries, accidents and damage. These guidelines apply to all employees, customers, contractors and visitors to Dixie property.

The Unloading or Loading area is anywhere near a vehicle that is being actively unloaded or loaded with a forklift. Only the forklift operator is allowed in the unloading or loading area.

Drivers should stay in their cab until instructed to exit for tarping and/or strapping.

Drivers should not exit the cab with a forklift in the unloading/loading area unless the lift has come to a complete stop and the engine has been turned off. While out of the cab drivers must wear high visibility safety clothing. Once unstrapping is completed and all straps and tarps are put away, the driver must get back in their cab. Delays in a driver returning to their cab will result in delays getting unloaded/loaded.
