Today is the start of International Roadcheck, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) annual 72-hour, high-visibility inspection and enforcement initia...tive. During International Roadcheck, Sept. 9-11, inspectors in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. will conduct commercial motor vehicle and driver inspections to verify compliance with driver operating requirements and vehicle mechanical fitness. Other than the increase in the number of inspections, the vehicle and driver inspections conducted during International Roadcheck are the same inspections conducted any other day of the year. https://www.cvsa.org/news-entry/2020-roadcheck-underway/ See more

International Roadcheck starts tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 9, through Friday, Sept. 11. International Roadcheck is a 72-hour high-volume, high-visibility inspect...ion and enforcement initiative when CVSA-certified inspectors in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. conduct commercial motor vehicle and driver inspections at weigh or inspection stations, at designated fixed locations or as part of roving mobile patrols. Over that three-day time frame, law enforcement personnel will inspect commercial motor vehicles for compliance with federal regulations and utilize the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria to identify critical inspection item violations. Each year, International Roadcheck places special emphasis on a category of violations. This year’s focus is on driver requirements. https://www.cvsa.org/news-entry/2020-rescheduled-roadcheck/ See more
