Roadside inspectors from across North America will convene in Minneapolis next week to view for the title of best commercial vehicle inspector during the annual North American Inspectors Championship.

The NAIC event, scheduled Aug. 20-26, is sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). It will be held in conjunction with the American Trucking Associations' National Truck Driving Championship.
"Commercial vehicle safety inspectors are members of a specialized branch of law enforcement," said FMCSA Administrator John H. Hill. "They work every day to improve safety on our roads and highways. NAIC celebrates their professionalism, their expertise and their dedication to protecting lives."
NAIC's purpose is to recognize the inspector for demonstrating inspector excellence. NAIC's goals are to provide contestants with education on the latest commercial vehicle safety issues, promote uniformity of inspections throughout North America, challenge contestants utilizing real world scenarios, provide CVSA with a snapshot of the current inspection environment, strengthen the industry and enforcement partnerships and promote camaraderie between inspectors, jurisdictions and countries.
All of the inspection categories are timed events and the compilation of scores for these categories result in a Grand Champion. In addition to a Grand Champion, awards are given for first, second and third place for selected inspection events.
CVSA is an international not-for-profit organization comprised of local, state, provincial, territorial and federal motor carrier safety officials and industry representatives from the United States, Canada and Mexico. Its mission is to promote commercial motor vehicle safety and security by providing leadership to enforcement, industry and policy makers
