So, how far ahead should CMV drivers scan the road for potential hazards?  Drop your thoughts in the comments ⬇️

Brake safety matters - every day and for every driver on the road.

During #CVSABrakeSafetyWeek earlier this year, FMCSA inspectors at the Santa Teresa Port of Entry in New Mexico checked commercial vehicle brake systems and shared practical brake safety tips with CMV drivers.
