Slow Down for Safety
Help our EQUS crews stay safe!
As we are in the midst of our busiest season of work we want to remind drivers to please slow down and drive safely when you encounter EQUS vehicles and employees on our rural roads. We always endeavor to minimize disruptions to traffic and to ensure that our work sites are safe for everyone in the area. We appreciate having the support of our communities in maintaining that safety.
Give our crews a brake, and together we can ensure everyone gets to go home safe at the end of the day.
