CVSA's Brake Safety Day is Sept. 7, 2017
Greenbelt, Maryland (June 20, 2017) – Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017, is Brake Safety Day, an enforcement and compliance campaign where law enforcement agencies across North America will conduct inspections on large trucks and buses to identify out-of-adjustment brakes, and brake-system and antilock braking system (ABS) violations as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Operation Airbrake Program.
The goal of Brake Safety Day is to reduce the number of crashes caused by poorly maintained braking systems on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) by conducting roadside mechanical fitness inspections, and identifying and removing vehicles with critical brake violations from our roadways.   Read More...

 Definition of an Intrastate Commercial Motor Vehicle

On March 20, 2017, Governor Hickenlooper signed into law House Bill 1061 and it became effective on the same date. This bill changes the definition in 42-4-235(1)(a)(l) of an intrastate commercial motor vehicle in Colorado from 10,001 pounds or more to 16,001 pounds or more. However, it does not relieve companies utilizing those vehicles from all regulations. There are three safety clauses to this law that all companies must continue to perform. For those vehicles, that would be commercial motor vehicles except for the fact the weight limit has changed (10,001 pounds to 16,000 pounds), operators must:

1. Conduct Annual Vehicle Inspections
2. Maintain Load Securement requirements
3. Maintain use of Coupling Devices

This law does not change any regulations for Interstate Commercial Vehicles. View Frequently Asked Questions.
