ROADCHECK IS LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY.
If you missed CCJ's AMA with CVSA Inspection Specialist Jeremy Disbrow, click below to receive a recorded version. We received almost 300 questions and this 60 minutes could be a powerful tool in getting and keeping your trucks compliant.
CVSA's North American Roadcheck inspection spree is May 14-16. Inspectors will be on watch for various equipment and driver violations – like brake and tire wear issues, and hours of service – but tractor protection controls in the air system and alcohol and controlled substance possession will get special focus this year.
While Roadcheck is a three-day enforcement campaign, Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's (CVSA) Roadside Inspection Specialist Jeremy Disbrow emphasised there's really nothing unique about the inspections themselves.
"The inspectors are doing the same North American Standard Level 1 Inspection that they always do. It includes the same 37-step procedures, so there's nothing really different in there, and it's done in all jurisdictions," he said. "Really, the only difference is that this is an all-hands-on-deck campaign, and there's a lot of partnership with enforcement that's involved here, and industry, to again, promote outreach and educational opportunities. But really, the inspection process is the same.
CCJ, in partnership with Bestpass, hosted an one-hour webinar Wednesday, featuring Disbrow. Much of his 25 years of experience is focused on commercial motor vehicle safety, enforcement, outreach and training, and over the course of Wednesday's 60 minute webinar, Disbrow fielded nearly 300 questions submitted by members of the trucking community, and provided an instructional how-to on passing a commercial vehicle roadside inspection.
