As we approach FMCSA Brake Safety Week, it's a timely reminder of the critical role that effective brake inspections play in ensuring the safety of both our drivers and the public. Brake systems are among the most essential components of any commercial vehicle, and their proper maintenance cannot be overstated. During Brake Safety Week, enforcement officials will be conducting inspections across the country, focusing on identifying and removing unsafe commercial vehicles from the road. The goal is to reduce the number of accidents caused by faulty brakes, but it’s important to remember that safety starts with each of us. An effective brake inspection should be an integral part of your trip inspection routine. Remember to check for: - Brake Pad Wear - Air Brake System Integrity - Brake Drums and Rotors - Brake Adjustment - Warning Devices Remember, a thorough brake inspection is not just about passing an inspection during Brake Safety Week—it’s about protecting your life and the lives of others on the road. Take the time to do it right, every time. #BrakeSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst
