Résumé de l’enjeu

Un inspecteur routier du Missouri a relevé sept infractions, dont deux immobilisations pour des problèmes de freins liés à un raccord rapide débranché (mentionné dans le rapport d'inspection). Une fois le raccord branché, le conducteur a été autorisé à quitter les lieux.

Justification ou besoin

Le simple fait qu'un seul raccord rapide ait été débranché a eu un impact extrêmement important sur le score CSA d'entretien des véhicules de ce transporteur.

Demande d’action

Je demande respectueusement à l'agent de traiter un raccord de liquide de refroidissement débranché comme un tuyau de cochon débranché. Laissez le conducteur rebrancher le raccord avant de procéder à l'inspection.

Mesures prises par le comité

This item was originally brought to Operation Air Brake (OAB), OAB indicated that the documenting of each brake was correct, based on current guidance. However, understanding that the multiple violations/OOS may weigh heavily on a CSA score, they agreed that something similar to lights out due to an unplugged pigtail could be considered. Further discussion was regarding the electric brakes not functioning for the same reason. So additional language was developed to incorporate the electric brakes as well. It was also suggested that a note be put in the lighting section for the electric brakes to point readers to the brake section for the electric brake guidance and in Electric Brake section to point readers back to the lighting section to ensure two violation will be noted (one for the brakes and one for the lights when an electrical cable is unplugged on an electric braked trailer.

This OOSC below, will be in the 2025 OOSC criteria pending ballot approval.
