Every year, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) conducts a major inspection event called the International Roadcheck. In 2024, more than 59,000 commercial vehicles were inspected across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in just three days.
The results? Thousands of drivers and vehicles were taken off the road due to violations.

Why It Matters

If you operate a commercial vehicle, these inspections are serious. In 2024:
⦁ 19.3% of vehicles were placed out of service.
⦁ 5.8% of drivers were also removed from service.
Most violations could have been avoided with better compliance and paperwork.

Top Reasons for CVSA Penalties

CVSA inspectors found violations in areas like:
⦁ Brakes not working properly
⦁ Worn or underinflated tires
⦁ Lights not functioning
⦁ Driver logs not complete or accurate
⦁ Missing or expired medical cards
⦁ Driver qualification files not up to date
Even minor paperwork issues can lead to big problems, like fines or losing the ability to operate.
