Preparing for Brake Safety Week 2024

Send us a text

Episode 325: Brake Safety Week is coming up at the end of August. Last year, over 500 commercial vehicles were removed from North American roads after just one day of surprise inspections for having brake components that were unsafe. To help us prepare ahead for this year we talked to brake expert Don Orrell, Founder and CEO of TorqStop Brakes.
Don tells us what to watch for when it comes to contamination or cracks on our brakes, and also discusses his firm belief that new is better than remanufactured. We end this episode with a video clip that shows the horrible consequences of not maintaining your commercial vehicle and having a complete brake failure in traffic.
