Truck drivers better get ready! Put down the cell phones, stop the texting, and make sure your work hours are logged and compliant because these are the top things they will be looking at.
They plan on putting out 10,000 inspectors at about 1,500 sites all over the country. The object is to conduct approximately 75,000 roadside inspections to get unsafe drivers and vehicles off the road.
The RoadCheck Program includes:
ñ 75,000 inspections nationwide
ñ Removing unsafe truck drivers
ñ Removing unsafe motor vehicles
ñ Educate drivers on vehicle maintenance
ñ Make drivers aware of the inspection process
ñ Help gather general motor carrier compliance data
With the advanced notice everyone has had this week shouldn't be very much different from any other right? I guess we will find out as the week progresses.
If you do end up getting stopped be ready to complete a Level 1 inspection!

Be safe.

Whenever there is inspection, I have mostly seen that people always prepare themselves to show their best and maintains everything perfectly, really don't understand then why can't they maintained it for the whole period.
