This Year\u2019s Focus<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis year, inspectors will be paying special attention to brake drums and rotors, in addition to overall brake system health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since brake-related violations<\/a> make up a significant portion of out-of-service citations nation-wide, now is the time to make sure your truck is ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n5 Tips to Help Pass Your CVSA Brake Inspection<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usxpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/THM-103-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n1. Visually Inspect Your Brakes\u00a0<\/strong>
Locate your disc or drum brakes and rotors and check for signs of wear, loose equipment, or missing hardware. If you notice a problem, get it addressed before you hit the road.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Check for ABS Warning Lights\u00a0<\/strong>
If your anti-lock brake system (ABS) light is on, it\u2019s an automatic red flag for CVSA inspectors, and can mean an immediate citation. Make sure all dashboard warning lights are clear before your trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Listen for Air Leaks\u00a0<\/strong>
Walk around your truck and trailer and listen closely. Air escaping from the brake system could indicate a leak in your air lines that must be repaired before continuing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Never Skip Your Pre-Trip Brake Inspection\u00a0<\/strong>
Your pre-trip inspection<\/a> is more than just a checklist. Take the time to check your brakes and other critical systems before every run to avoid preventable issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. Make Brake Safety a Year-Round Habit\u00a0<\/strong>
While Brake Safety Week<\/a> is a great motivator, drivers should maintain these inspection habits all year long.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staying consistent can protect your record, reduce maintenance delays, and keep you moving safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
