Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Brake Safety Week is August 25-31. For shippers, understanding the impact of this initiative and partnering with a broker like Fetch Freight can make all the difference in navigating this week.
Brake Safety Week is an inspection initiative aimed at enhancing safety by identifying and removing vehicles with critical brake-related violations from the roads. Enforcement officials across North America will conduct thousands of roadside inspections during these seven days, primarily focusing on braking systems and components; non-compliant violators may face penalties or fines.
With increased inspections, carriers may face delays or violations, or choose to stay off the road altogether, impacting schedules, delivery delays, or rates and availability.
Working with a broker like Fetch Freight ensures that your goods are transported by compliant, well-maintained vehicles, minimizing the risk of delays. By understanding the potential challenges and working closely with your logistics partners, you can mitigate disruptions and ensure your shipments arrive on time.

We’ve been in close contact with our carrier network to ensure that they are ready and compliant with all safety regulations. During Brake Safety Week, we’ll be closely monitoring and providing real-time updates to our shippers. Our team is dedicated to finding solutions that keep your goods delivered smoothly and on time.
