Safety

As a freight broker, you are on the front lines of ensuring safe, efficient and compliant transportation of goods. One critical aspect of your role involves conducting thorough Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration checks. However, this process has risks, especially with the increase in fraud across the industry.

According to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, Brake Safety Week will be held from August 22 to August 28 as planned (CVSA). As part of the inspection, enforcement officers will look for critical out-of-service brake violations as well as other out-of-service violations. The findings, which will be released later this year, will include information on chafing air brake hose/tubing violations, which are the subject of this year's Brake Safety Week.
