CVSA’s Brake Safety Week Scheduled for Aug. 24-30
Are your trucks and drivers prepared?
That means truck inspectors will be out in force, peeking under hoods, poking around your spiders and cams, and probing your drums and rotors.
CVSA inspectors will conduct routine Level 1 vehicle inspections, focusing on brake systems and components. Special emphasis this year is on brake drums and rotors. According to CVSA, brake drum and rotor issues can affect a truck’s brake efficiency and safety.
“Broken pieces of drums and rotors may become dislodged from the vehicle enroute and damage other vehicles or result in injuries or fatalities to the motoring public,” CVSA noted in a news release.
