CVSA's International Roadcheck Scheduled for May 12-14
From May 12 to 14, enforcement personnel throughout North America will inspect commercial motor vehicles and commercial motor vehicle drivers for compliance with vehicle, cargo and driver regulatory requirements as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's (CVSA) 72-hour inspection, enforcement and data-collection initiative, International Roadcheck.
During International Roadcheck, inspectors at weigh/inspection stations and pop-up inspection sites primarily conduct the North American Standard Level I Inspection, a 37-step procedure that includes two major parts - an examination of the driver's operating requirements and an assessment of the vehicle's mechanical fitness.
For the driver portion of the inspection, inspectors check the driver's qualifications, license, record of duty status, medical examiner's certificate, seat belt usage, skill performance evaluation certificate
For the vehicle portion of the inspection, inspectors assess the vehicle's brake systems, cargo securement, coupling devices, driveline/driveshaft components, driver's seat, fuel and exhaust systems, frames, lighting devices, steering mechanisms, suspensions, tires, wheels, rims, hubs, and windshield wipers. Inspections of motorcoaches/buses and other passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles also include examination of emergency exits, seating, and electrical cables and systems in the engine and battery compartments.
