The International Roadcheck for this year will take place from May 16–18, according to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). CVSA-certified inspectors from Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. will perform inspections of commercial motor vehicles and drivers at weigh/inspection stations, designated inspection sites, and along roads during the 72-hour International Roadcheck inspection and enforcement event.
This year, inspectors will pay special attention to cargo securement and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) to emphasize the significance of those components of vehicle safety.
