Roadside inspection procedures are developed and maintained
by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), and three million or more are
conducted each year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
One failed roadside inspection can lead to a driver or
vehicle being placed out of service, and that can result in more of your
drivers being selected for inspections. That's why it's important to make sure
your drivers are properly prepared for roadside inspections - and understand
the consequences of failed inspections.
