Troopers and other Law Enforcement Officers are gearing up to start Operation Roadcheck 2013. The operation starts June 4 and continues through June 6. The annual three-day roadside commercial vehicle safety “blitz” will focus this year on cargo securement and changes in hours of service regulations. The event is organized by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, This operation involves thousands of CVSA-certified local, state and federal commercial vehicle inspections across North America at thousands of locations. All states across the country beef up the numbers of officers that conduct commercial motor vehicle inspections. Some states go longer than the 72 hours that the Roadcheck is established at. The blitz is a time for officers to educate and potentially catch transportation companies that are not operating in the safest matter possible. If you need help getting into compliance give me a call.
