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.
