NATM Approved Safety Videos
Hooking Up Your Trailer
- Properly attaching your trailer to your vehicle is a must for safe transport. Failure to hook up a trailer to your hitch correctly can cause serious damage to your vehicle and your trailer. While also being a hazard to other drivers around you. Watch this video for the proper steps to a safe haul.

Weight Distribution
- Proper weight distribution is key to a safe ride. Too much tongue weight can weigh down the vehicle and at high speeds may cause the ride to sway. At the same time, too much tail weight can cause the tongue to lift when detached from the hitch. Avoid these dangers by watching this video which demonstrates proper weight distribution on your trailer.
