| Summary of Issue | The CVSA NAS Out-of-Service Criteria Part II, 1. Brake Systems, d. Trailer Breakaway and Emergency Braking, (1) states that a missing or inoperable breakaway braking system on a trailer or converter dolly is out of service. Converter dollies are not equipped with emergency brakes. |
| Justification or Need | Because converter dollies aren't equipped with emergency brakes, they shouldn't be referenced in the "Trailer Breakaway and Emergency Braking" section of the OOSC. |
| Request for Action | Remove "converter dolly" from Part II Section 1. d. (1) of the CVSA NAS Out-of-Service Criteria. |
