Throughout the weeklong blitz, law enforcement officers will inspect brake systems and remove commercial motor vehicles found to have brake-related out-of-service violations from roadways until those violations are corrected. Throughout the week, CVSA-certified inspectors will conduct their usual inspections. However, they will be reporting brake-related inspection and violation data to the alliance.
“The focus of this year’s Brake Safety Week is on the condition of the brake lining and pad,” said CVSA President Maj. Chris Nordloh with the Texas Department of Public Safety. “Brake lining and pad issues may result in vehicle violations and could affect a motor carrier’s safety rating.”
During a recent unannounced brake inspection day, inspectors placed 679 commercial vehicles out of service in the U.S. A total of 5,901 vehicles were inspected in the U.S.
In last year's Brake Safety Week, 34,402 inspections were conducted and 4,664 -- or 13.6% of inspected vehicles -- had brake-related violations.

BulkLoads launched a new Reroute feature within its BulkLoads+ transportation management system software, formerly known as BulkTMS.
Reroute gives system users the ability to adapt to real-time changes in routes, eliminating the need for time-consuming communication processes. Bulk trucking faces numerous challenges that can lead to rerouting, from insect damage to facility breakdowns and early contract completion. Need for immediate route adjustments can result in significant disruptions in operations and communication breakdowns between drivers and dispatchers.
The new BulkLoads+ feature helps ensure efficient communication to and from the operator with a few simple clicks and taps. BulkLoads+ users navigate to the specific load that requires rerouting and specify the number of loads to be rerouted and their new destinations. The system then automatically updates all pertinent information and immediately notifies the driver of the revised load details.
