A wheel chock sign is a vital loading dock safety sign that reminds truck drivers and dock workers that the wheels of the trailer must be chocked (blocked) before loading or unloading can begin. This procedure is mandatory to prevent trailer separation, a major dock hazard.

Signs should be placed at every dock door (e.g., chock wheels), on the dock edge, and at all entrances to the loading dock area (caution: forklift traffic).
