As a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver, you understand roadside inspections are part of the job. These inspections are of particular importance during the annual Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) International Roadcheck.
This year the Roadcheck is being held May 14-16 across North America. It’s important to remember that inspections should not just happen during next month’s Roadcheck event but throughout the year.
While the inspections conducted during Roadcheck scrutinize all safety and compliance aspects of equipment and drivers, this year there will be two specific areas of concentration: the use of controlled substances and alcohol among drivers and vehicle maintenance, particularly tractor protection and anti-bleed back systems.
