Abstract: Considering the foregoing title it would appear that our discussion will consider the following: 1. Safety: (noun) depicting secure, or free from danger. 2. Standard: (noun) approved model or rule. 3. Truck: (noun) vehicle for carrying heavy loads. 4. Brake: (noun) device for arresting motion. 5. System: (noun) an orderly form or assemblage of parts. According to Webster that would then mean -An approved rule or model describing an orderly form or assemblage of parts comprising a device for arresting the motion of a vehicle carrying heavy loads. The Department of Transportation (DOT) through its various agencies has developed several such rules or models called Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), Bureau of Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (BMCS), and others of significant importance. Before we go into these, lets first examine what a brake is a device for arresting motion. I would rather call it a machine than a device, and what a machine it is! Lets consider the eight parts of a brake machine.
