24 Vehicle Access
Behind the Cab Entry
When trailer air and electrical connections
can not be coupled from the ground, Fed-
eral Regulations require commercial
carriers to provide back-of-cab access steps,
grab handles and plates.
Depending on what option is chosen, grab
handles are available in many variations. In
each case, make sure to always have three
limbs (one foot and two hands or two feet
and one hand) in contact with the vehicle at
all times when entering or exiting the area
behind the cab.
WARNING
Wearing shoes with soles that are dirty
or wet increases the chance of slipping
or falling. Be careful when entering the
back-of-cab area with dirty or wet soles.

Grasp the grab handle to the left with both
hands. Put the left foot onto the bottom
step and pull yourself up. Put the right foot
on the top step and step onto the deck plate
with the left foot.
WARNING
Always perform trailer hook-ups while
standing on the ground. Do not climb
on top of fuel tanks or frame rails to
hook up or disconnect trailer air lines
and electrical cord. Use only the metal,
slip resistant steps provided to prevent a
slip and fall injury.
