Safety is at the very top of our core values at FirstFleet and Werner. CVSA Brake Safety Week is another opportunity to reinforce the importance of thorough inspections, recognizing potential brake issues and addressing concerns before hitting the road. Staying proactive helps keep our drivers and everyone around them safe.
✔️ Brake Safety Week is underway! 🚚
This year, there is a focused inspection effort on drums and rotors. Inspectors throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico will be targeting signs of neglect such as cracked rotors, contaminated drums, dragging pigtails and heat-stressed disc brakes.
👀 Be prepared by conducting a full visual and functional brake inspection! Look for rotor cracks, heat glazing, and drum contamination. Verify that linings meet minimum thickness, air systems hold pressure and hoses and fittings are secure and leak-free.💪
