The annual "RoadCheck" 72-hour inspection blitz is scheduled for June 5-7.

Sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, the inspection effort will check trucks and buses and their drivers at sites along major highways, while roving patrols will cover other highways.
During RoadCheck 2000, more than 40,000 vehicles were inspected. Of those vehicles, 24.7 percent were placed out-of-service because of safety violations. And 6.4 percent of the commercial drivers inspected were found in violation of federal safety regulations.
The annual RoadChecks, which began in 1988, place a special focus on the year-round commercial vehicle safety and other driver safety programs. More than 2 million roadside safety inspections, including the annual RoadChecks, are conducted each year by CVSA-trained inspectors. The number grows each year as the volume of commercial traffic increases.
