Motor carrier officers from the

Michigan State Police, Commercial

Vehicle Enforcement Division, will

be conducting safety inspections at

weigh stations and rest areas through-

out the state from now through Aug.

31.

This enforcement operation is part

of the annual Commercial Vehicle

Safety Alliance International Brake

Safety Week (Aug. 25-31).

“Every day, lives are saved as a

result of commercial

motor vehicle roadside

safety inspections,” said

Col. James F. Grady II,

director of the Michigan

State Police. “Across

North America, it is

anticipated that more than

65,000 large truck and

bus inspections will be

conducted during this one-

week enforcement opera-

tion.”

The vehicle inspection

includes checking brake systems,

cargo securement, coupling devices,

driveline/driveshaft components,

frames, fuel systems, lighting devic-

es, steering mechanisms, suspensions,

tires, van and open-top trailer bodies,

wheels and electrical systems.

Drivers will also be asked to pro-

vide their operating credentials and

hours-of-service documentation, and

inspectors will also be attentive to

alcohol and/or drug impairment.

Brake Safety Week aims

to prevent crash risks
