Brakes are the most important safety feature on trucks, yet they may not be getting the respect attention they deserve from drivers and technicians.
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week will be held Aug. 22-28. Commercial motor vehicle inspectors will conduct inspections and remove commercial motor vehicles found to have brake-related out-of-service violations from the roadways.
Bendix, a designer, developer, and supplier of active safety technologies, has put together a guide to help fleets get ready for Brake Safety Week.

Tubing and hose chafing violations will be a focal point for Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance enforcement officers Aug. 23-29, as they conduct Level 1 inspections as part of Brake Safety Week.
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) has announced that Brake Safety Week will proceed as scheduled, August 23-29.
