CVSA International Roadcheck Inspection Blitz Hits North America May 12-14

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is launching its largest targeted enforcement program on May 12-14, 2026. Inspectors will operate from weigh stations and pop-up sites across North America to check commercial vehicles and drivers for safety compliance. Key Details During the 72-hour blitz, inspectors will focus heavily on electronic logging device (ELD) tampering and hours-of-service violations. They'll review duty status records, check for false or manipulated entries, and assess whether drivers understand federal regulations versus intentionally concealing violations. Most drivers will undergo a two-part Level I inspection covering driver qualifications, license status, medical certificates, seat belt usage, and Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse status. The vehicle portion examines brakes, cargo securement, coupling devices, lighting, steering, suspensions, tires, and windshield wipers. Why It Matters In 2025, inspectors issued 18,108 violations for unsecured cargo and 16,054 for improperly secured vehicle components. Passing inspection earns a three-month CVSA decal, signaling your vehicle met safety standards. Prepare now by reviewing your ELD entries for accuracy, ensuring all cargo is properly secured, and confirming your vehicle's critical systems are compliant. This inspection blitz affects every professional driver on the road.
