29th Annual Roadcheck Announcement

Reminder for all Van Operator’s that the 29th Annual Roadcheck 2016 will take place from June 7th through June 9th. 

Roadcheck 2016 is a 72 hour period during which CVSA Certified local, state, and federal inspectors, will perform on average about 17 inspections per minute across North America.

During the safety blitz, inspectors primarily conduct the North American Standard

Level I Inspection – a 37-step procedure that includes an examination of both the driver and vehicle. 

Drivers are required to provide items such as their license, medical certification, 

Logs, and may be checked for seat belt usage and the use or possession of alcohol and/or drugs. 

The special emphasis for 2016 is tire safety. Inspectors will be measuring tire tread depth, checking tire pressure, making sure no items are lodged between dual tires, and examining the overall condition of the tire to ensure no deep cuts or bulges exist, especially in the sidewalls of the tire. 

So mark these dates on your calendar, June 7th – June 9th, and start preparing now for Roadcheck 2016. Participating TA and Petro Truck stops nationwide are offering a Free Mid Trip Inspection, valid now through June 9th, check their websites for available coupons. 

From all of us here at UniGroup, we truly appreciate your hard work, and continued focus in making Safety our number #1 priority. Have a great day, and be safe out there!
