Rocket Marine Inc. Partners With NATM For National Trailer Safety Week
Rocket Marine Inc. is thrilled to team up with The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) to introduce the upcoming National Trailer Safety Week (TSW), set to run from June 1-7, 2025. We are deeply passionate about trailer safety and - firmly believe that trailer safety is traffic safety. End-users often lack crucial knowledge about proper trailer usage, recognizing the importance of safety features in cars but sometimes overlooking similar safety considerations when it comes to trailers. Rocket Marine Inc. is dedicated to offering vital information on towing techniques, loading practices, and maintenance guidelines to trailer users nationwide and is excited to contribute to educating our valued customers.
Supporting the cause of trailer safety is easy! We urge everyone to share www.TrailerSafetyWeek.com with their networks, allowing trailer users to access essential safety and maintenance information crucial for secure towing and promoting safer roadways. This user-friendly website covers various topics such as hitching, loading, maintenance, cargo securement, tire care, driving tips, selecting the right vehicle-trailer combination, brake systems, and the importance of choosing NATM-compliant trailers. With millions of trailers in operation daily by businesses, local authorities, and individuals nationwide, adopting safe towing practices is vital to saving lives and ensuring the safety of all road users.

About NATM
The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) has been dedicated to improving trailer safety and performance for nearly 40 years. The Association represents manufacturers that produce light- and medium-duty trailers, supplier and service providers, trailer dealers, and tow vehicle OEMs to the industry.
NATM seeks to promote safety awareness and provide a voice for trailer manufacturers and their suppliers when issues of trailer safety and regulation are considered by Congress and relevant government agencies. Founded in 1987, the Association has grown to represent more than 1,200 companies belonging to the trailer industry. Currently, NATM members manufacture an estimated 77% of new trailers on the nation’s roadways each year.
NATM is dedicated to improving trailer safety. One way this is accomplished is through the mandatory Compliance Verification Program, requiring all trailer manufacturers verify they have the manufacturingprocesses in place to build trailers that meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and industry best practices.
