Louisiana Police Release Roadcheck Prep Video: ELDs and Cargo Focus

Key Details Louisiana State Police released a preparatory video this week to help drivers and carriers get ready for the 2026 CVSA International Roadcheck campaign launching May 12-14. The 72-hour inspection effort will take place throughout North America, making preparation critical for all commercial vehicle operators. Why It Matters Electronic Logging Device tampering tops the inspection priority list for this year's Roadcheck. Inspectors will scrutinize Records of Duty Status for alterations, including fictitious driver accounts used to reassign driving time and fraudulent ELD credentials. Any signs of ELD manipulation could result in violations. Second Focus Area Cargo securement practices are equally important during this campaign. LSP emphasized proper tie-down procedures, highlighting that inspectors will verify the correct number of restraints based on cargo length and weight. They'll also confirm cargo is properly blocked from forward movement to prevent shifting during transit. What You Should Do Review the official LSP video and available preparation resources now. Audit your ELD practices and cargo securement procedures to ensure full compliance before May 12. Taking these steps now can help you pass inspection smoothly.
