Stay Road-Ready During CVSA Operation Airbrake Week

This week, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is conducting Operation Airbrake, a focused inspection campaign to ensure commercial vehicles are operating with safe and properly maintained brake systems. Law enforcement agencies across North America will be carrying out detailed brake checks, and it’s important to make sure your truck is ready.

During these inspections, officers will be looking closely at:

  • Brake pad wear
  • Air leaks
  • Faulty hoses and connections
  • Out-of-adjustment brakes

A violation during roadside inspection can mean costly downtime, unexpected repairs, or even being placed out of service. The best way to avoid these risks is to take a few minutes now to review your brake system and handle any needed repairs before hitting the road.

At Southwest International Trucks, we’re here to help you stay DOT ready. If you need brake parts or service, shop with us today through RepairLinkShop.com and keep your truck in top condition.


Your safety—and the safety of everyone on the road—depends on a well-maintained braking system. Don’t wait until an inspection catches you off guard. Stay ahead, stay safe, and keep moving.
