Attention to all drivers:
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Roadcheck 2015 approaching fast.
The annual inspection event – the CVSA's 72-hour safety blitz, is scheduled for
Tuesday, June 2 through Thursday, June 4.
Roadcheck is the largest targeted enforcement program on commercial motor vehicles in the world. Approximately 17 inspections will be conducted, on average, every minute from Canada to Mexico during a 72-hour period.
Last year, 70 percent of the inspections conducted were Level 1 inspections, the most thorough level of inspections. There are expected to be more than 10,000 inspectors at 2,500 locations conducting inspections around the clock during the 72-hour period.
So van operators, here is a checklist to help you get ready:
Make a very thorough pre-trip inspection daily
Check lights and tires
Make sure all logs are current to the last change of duty status
Do not speed
Be sure to wear your seat belt
Have all required credentials handy at all times (valid CDL and current medical credentials)
One more thing!!!! Unigroups Clean Means Green program will increase its incentive from $100 to $200 for all clean inspections obtained during this Roadcheck 2015 event.
Safety...... It's the right thing to do.
