CVSA’s Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative was set for different dates in each country that participated.
In the months leading up to this three-day awareness campaign, CVSA educated its membership and the general public on human trafficking through webinars, radio appearances, and online resources.
The training program is aimed at preventing fatigue-related risks and crashes and cultivating a corporate safety culture.
While many acknowledge that the feds efforts to clean up the perception of the industry following some high-profile crashes has been effective, many are alarmed with the inconsistency that has come with increased inspections as well as how they are being used to create a score that is viewable by the public.
Completed 73,023 truck and bus inspections from June 4 through 6. A total of 1,471 motorcoaches were inspected during the event this year.
Emphasized a back-to-the-basics focus, with special attention paid toward braking systems and hours-of-service, the top ranking violation categories for vehicles and drivers, respectively.
Placed specific attention on enforcing compliance with Hours-of-Service regulations, educating drivers about preventing driver fatigue, and checking brake system operations and brake adjustment.
The bus companies transported over 1,800 passengers a day along Interstate-95, from New York to Florida. The action is the largest single safety crackdown in the agency’s history.
During the week of Sept. 11 to 17, CVSA-certified inspectors, brake suppliers and industry partners will conduct enforcement and education activities with drivers and mechanics at truck stops, weigh stations and other locations. According to Roadcheck 2011 data, more education and awareness is needed to reduce the number of highway crashes caused annually by poorly maintained braking systems.
