The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) annual Roadcheck will take place from June 3-5, 2014 this year.
Roadcheck is an annual roadside inspection event where roadside inspectors from across North America perform truck and bus inspections, hold safety events to educate the industry and the public on the importance of safe operations and the roadside inspection program, and give out educational materials.
As part of Roadcheck, roadside inspectors will be handing out materials developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to help drivers and motor carriers Get Road Smart about the Agency’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program.
For CSA resources and to order Get Road Smart materials, check out the CSA Website at http://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/getroadsmart/.
