Greenbelt, Maryland (May 19, 2021) – This year’s Brake Safety Week is scheduled for Aug. 22-28. During Brake Safety Week, commercial motor vehicle inspectors emphasize the importance of brake systems by conducting inspections and removing commercial motor vehicles found to have brake-related out-of-service violations from our roadways. At the same time, many motor carriers work to educate their drivers and maintenance service providers on the importance of brake system safety.

We regret to inform you that the Safety Council officers have voted to CANCEL our 2021 MS Truck Driving Championship.

We did not have enough to participate in this year’s event due to COVID-19.

As always, we appreciate all the support you give to the MTA and look forward to seeing everyone next year at our 2022 TDC!
