The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) conducts the International Roadcheck annually as a high-visibility enforcement initiative. This year, it's scheduled for May 14-16, focusing on tractor-protection systems and driver compliance regarding alcohol and controlled substances.

As a freight broker, you play a vital role in ensuring the smooth flow of goods while prioritizing safety. Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about International Roadcheck 2024:

What to Expect During Roadcheck:

• Increased Inspections: Expect more inspections at weigh stations, designated areas, and even random roadside pullovers by CVSA-certified inspectors.

• Focus on Tractor Protection Systems: Inspectors will thoroughly examine brake systems, coupling systems, and other critical components to ensure they meet safety standards.

• Driver Checks: Drivers will be screened for compliance with alcohol and controlled substance regulations, including verifying their Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (DACH) records.

How to Prepare for Roadcheck:

• Communicate with Carriers: Partner with carriers that prioritize safety and have a proven track record of compliance.

• Ensure Proper Documentation: Verify that all carriers you work with have up-to-date driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance records, and DACH compliance.
