    Preparing for Brake Safety Week 2016

    Sept. 9, 2016
    Prepping for Brake Safety Week inspections

    The annual Brake Safety Week inspection campaign led by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) kicks off on Sunday Sept. 11 and will run through Sept. 17. During last year’s campaign, more than 2,300 vehicles across North America were placed out of service for brake violations. To help truckers stay “brake compliant” this year Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC is offering an array of brake maintenance advice. (All photos by Sean Kilcarr/Fleet Owner)
