Is Roller Brake Testing a Concern For You?

The ATA Industry Technical Council has received information from a number of operators who are concerned about the way roller brake testing is conducted by enforcement agencies.

To gain a better understanding of the issues being reported, the ATA has created a short survey to get an overview of how this testing is typically carried out by operators and agencies.

All operators are encouraged to complete the survey, whether or not you have experienced issues with the way roller brake testing is conducted. The ATA will use the survey results in discussions with road agencies.

The survey will take no more than 5 minutes to complete, and all responses will be anonymous.

Take the survey now.
