Commercial Vehicle Alliance announced this year’s brake safety week on last week of August and one more action which will be unannounced one-day brake safety enforcement initiative, which can come any day throughout the year, where CMV inspectors will go out on field and conduct brake system inspections on large trucks and buses in order to identify brake-system violations
CVSA President Sgt. John Samis said: “Despite the pandemic, commercial motor vehicle safety inspectors continue to prioritize vehicle and driver safety by conducting inspections every day. Safety is always our top priority and it’s our mission to ensure the vehicles on our roadways have met all safety standards and regulations. This is especially important as we rally behind truck drivers as they transport essential goods during this public health crisis. We need to do everything we can to ensure that the vehicles truck drivers are driving are as safe as possible.”
Did you know? That it takes two football field for a CMVehicle, moving 65mph with properly funcionatin brakes, to come to a complete stop? The largest percentage of all out-of-service violations cited during roadside inspections are brake-related. And that’s why properly functioning brake systems are crucial to safe operation.
TruFunding has an obligation to remind their customers so be responsible and to make sure their trucks’ brakes systems are in order, It is YOUR and our duty for society to maintain safety of ourselves and others and we do that by keeping the roads safe.
