Roadcheck 2009 Set for Early June
The annual roadside inspection blitz known as "Roadcheck" is scheduled for June 2-4, 2009, throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Conducted by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), Roadcheck is the largest targeted enforcement program on commercial vehicles in the world. Approximately 14 trucks or buses get inspected, on average, every minute from Canada to Mexico during a 72-hour period each June.
During the 2008 event, 24 percent of vehicles were placed out of service, the lowest vehicle out-of-service rate recorded in the 21-year history of the event. Just over 5 percent of drivers were placed out of service, a 14 percent improvement over 2007.
More than 8,500 CVSA-certified inspectors at 1,850 locations across North America perform the Roadcheck truck and bus inspections.
