Brake Safety Day
September 7th, 2017

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance in partnership with the USDOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is sponsoring their annual campaign to promote brake safety. The goal is to reduce highway crashes caused by poorly maintained braking systems on commercial vehicles.

The inspections will "identify loose, or missing parts, air or hydraulic fluid leaks, worn linings, pads, drums or rotors, and other faulty brake-system components." Anti-lock braking system malfunction indicator lamps will be checked and pushrod stroke will be measured when necessary. In ten jurisdictions, overall braking efficiency will be analyzed using performance-based brake testing (PBBT) equipment which measures total vehicle weight and total brake force. U. S. Federal regulations require a minimum brake efficiency of 43.5%. Additional items that may be checked are CDLs, registration, low-air warning devices, air loss rate, and tractor protection valves.

Defective or faulty brakes will result in the vehicle being put out of service. During CSVA's 2016 International Roadcheck event, brake-related violations made up the majority of all out-of-service violations (45.7%). Please ready your drivers and vehicles for this event as it is imperative that your tractors are prepared to pass these examinations. ... See MoreSee Less
