CVSA FMCSA June 7-9 Inspection Blitz Focuses on Tire Safety
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance will be joining forces for the 26th annual International Roadcheck on June 7-9 this year. A total of 75,000 inspections are anticipated by both parties; performed by CVSA-certified local, state, federal, and Canadian-provincial inspection authorities.
The highlighted aspect of the inspection campaign in 2016 will feature an emphasis on tire safety. Tire inspection is a routine component of a normal roadside inspection- consisting specifically of measuring tire tread depth, measuring tire pressure, checking between dual tires, and checking sidewalls for bulges or deep cuts.
The most in-depth inspection routine will be completed by inspection authorities on the majority of blitz stops. A Level 1 North American Standard Inspection includes:
- Driver’s License
- Driver’s Daily Log
- Driver and Vehicle Inspection Report
- Coupling Devices
- Medical Card
- Seat Belt
- Brakes
- Exhaust System
- Frame
- Fuel System
- Turn Signals
- Brake Lamps
- Tail Lamps
- Head Lamps
- Lamps on Projecting Loads
- Safe Loading
- Steering Mechanism
- Suspension
- Tires
- Trailer Bodies
- Wheels and Rims
- Windshield Wipers
- Hazmat Requirements (If Applicable)
Always perform a thorough, focused pre-trip inspection, including tires.
