Brake Safety Week is here, and it's a reminder that safety starts long before an inspection.
As CVSA's Brake Safety Week takes place across North America, roadside inspections will focus on identifying brake violations and defects, with special attention on brake drums and rotors.
While I may not be behind the wheel or under the hood, I see firsthand the dedication it takes to keep our equipment road-ready. To me, Brake Safety Week is a chance to recognize the drivers and technicians who make safety a priority every day. Their attention to detail helps ensure our trucks are ready for the road and our communities are safer because of it.
It's also a reminder that safety is a shared responsibility. Whether it's performing a thorough inspection, reporting a concern or making a repair, every action plays a role in keeping our operations moving safely. I'm proud to be part of a team committed to doing things the right way. Thank you to the drivers and technicians who help keep safety at the center of everything we do.
