What is Roadcheck 2025?
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance ( CVSA )hosts the annual Roadcheck inspection event for all of North America, with trucks and drivers getting a 72-hour blitz of inspections for compliance purposes.
Serious violations are genuinely found at any given moment during Roadcheck, and if so, the vehicle or driver can immediately be placed Out-of-Service (OOS), thus incurring late downtimes, fines, and interruptions in fleet operations.
Common Problems Fleet Owners Face Before Roadcheck 2025
- Last Minute Compliance Frenzy : Fleet managers miss deadlines as they run around collecting documents, updating inspections and fixing problems just days ahead of Roadcheck. The last-minute approach means it’s likely many items will be missed, and the risk of non-compliance increases.
- Missing or Outdated Maintenance Records : Managing maintenance schedules for dozens or hundreds of vehicles is a challenge. If brake inspections were missed, or tire rotations or minor repairs failed to be done, it often leads to catastrophic failures during Roadcheck inspections.
- Documentation Problems : Drivers struggle frequently to have the correct and up to date documents – namely CDL licenses, medical certificates, logbooks, etc. Missing documents or expired documents can easily lead to costly citations.
- Surprise Breakdowns : Sometimes overlooked minor problems can result in breakdowns unexpectedly while on the road. Vehicle breakdowns will likely delay deliveries, damage your company’s reputation, and mean bad inspections.
- Lost Driver Productivity : Manually tracking driver compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) rules and with certification requirements invariably leads to errors and non-compliance issues.
