Brake Safety Week planned for late August Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has scheduled its annual Brake Safety Week for Aug. 22-28. During Brake Safety Week, commercial motor vehicle inspectors conduct inspections and remove from service trucks found to have brake-related out-of-service violations. Prior to the event, CVSA encourages motor carriers to educate drivers and maintenance service providers on the importance of brake system safety. Throughout the week-long campaign, inspectors will conduct North American Standard Inspections of commercial motor vehicles, focusing on the vehicle’s brake systems and components. In addition, inspectors will compile data on brake hoses/tubing – the focus area for this year’s Brake Safety Week.
