Friends in the Industry - I want to give a huge shoutout to Inspector Alan W. Wintermute R.S.E. (Retired) for joining Avery, (my 12-year-old son) on an episode of the Youthful Take on Transportation series this afternoon! A Youthful Take on Transportation is all about educating youth on the opportunities within the transportation industry so that they consider a career path in our industry when they enter the workforce. During their conversation, Alan walks Avery through the importance of road safety and talks specifically on components of a commercial vehicle that not only help the vehicle be safer but help the professional driver that's operating it too. Stay tuned, as their episode goes live in the coming weeks! Thank you again Alan, I really appreciate you taking the time to join Avery on the podcast, and for the continued impact you are having in our industry!

For those that know me, know I am a very empathetic advocate for our industry and don’t throw shade on specific roles or people. But, for this many vehicles with concerning brake defects, being operated on our roadways is extremely frustrating. Professional drivers and carriers have unlimited opportunities to inspect brakes and ensure only safe vehicles are on the road. I need to ask, how thorough are these inspections, how regular are these vehicles being maintained? Have your drivers been trained in proper pre-trip inspections? Our industry needs to do better. Let’s have a safe day. #CVSA #IndustryImprovements #Inspections #OOS #BrakesOutOfAdjustment (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhWhJrNLB4/?utm_medium=tumblr

CVSA - Blitz Personally, I still heavily rely on the advice one of my mentors shared with me years ago. He said, “those that care inspect not just during a pre trip or post trip, but throughout their day aswell”. Now, for some, this may seem like a “duh” statement. But in my experience, it’s shocking how many components are missed during inspections, that would have been easily identified if they had looked. So, for those that are monitoring continuously, I applaud you. The upcoming CVSA blitz will be an opportunity for you to do well and possibly earn your passed level one CVSA inspection. For others, the upcoming CVSA blitz creates anxiety, as one could wonder what has been overlooked for some time. My encouragement, thoroughly inspect your commercial vehicle, and ride with confidence that you are a safe professional. It is all of our responsibility to keep our roadways safe.
