More Than 500 Commercial Motor Vehicles Removed from North American Roadways in One Day Due to Brake Violations Washington, D.C. (June 10, 2024) – Inspectors in 47 jurisdictions throughout Canada, Mexico and the U.S. conducted 4,898 commercial motor vehicle inspections in one day as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) brake-safety inspection and enforcement event. Each year, CVSA law enforcement jurisdictions are invited to participate in a one-day unannounced brake-safety inspection and regulatory compliance enforcement event. On that day, CVSA-certified commercial motor vehicle inspectors conduct their routine roadside inspections with a focus on brake systems and components, and provide brake-related inspection and violation data to CVSA. This year’s Brake Safety Day data found that of the 4,898 inspections conducted, 4,328 commercial motor vehicles did not have any brake-related out-of-service violations – 88.4% of the total number of vehicles inspected. However, inspectors identified 570 (11.6%) commercial motor vehicles that were traveling on roadways with brake-related critical inspection item vehicle violations. Those vehicles were immediately restricted from further travel until the critical violations could be properly addressed. Click the link below for the full press release https://lnkd.in/esC-aEEk

About us
Vehicle Inspection Systems, Inc. (VIS, Inc.) has been the front runner for heavy duty vehicle safety for the trucking and transportation industry for brake and undercarriage inspection as well as wheel and rim safety for over twenty years. VIS manufactures and distributes products including the VIS-Check, the VIS-Polish, the VIS-Auto, the VIS-Nitro, and the VIS-Squirrel. Vehicle Inspection Systems is proud to serve vehicle service and maintenance shops throughout North America to provide safety and inspection services to heavy duty trucks and public transportation vehicles in both the United States and Canada. The VIS-Polish is an automated aluminum wheel maintenance system that helps uncover fine cracks and other flaws that can be hiding under dirt and debris so damage can be caught before it causes an incident. The VIS-Polish also brings back a bright luster back to road-weary wheels while the enclosed system ensures technicians remain safe from moving parts and debris. Give your vehicles wheels that aren’t just well-maintained, but stand out by adding the VIS-Polish to your aluminum wheel maintenance process. The VIS-Check is performance-based brake tester (PBBT) combined with a road simulator that inspects the brakes, steering and suspension of commercial and heavy duty vehicles and measures braking force to DOT standards and APTA best practice recommendations. It allow technicians to view steering and suspension components under harsh operating conditions and minimizes the risk of injury to testing personnel by eliminating the need for vehicle deceleration. At the end of the inspection, the VIS-Check produces a ‘Safety and Efficiency Report’ to guide and assist service technician’s maintenance activities.

Visual Pre-Trip Inspection is not the best route. Our VIS-Check would have saved this company thousands in fees and out-service delays. https://lnkd.in/eBeNeBQx
