CVSA shares cheat sheet to help truckers prep for Roadcheck’s focus on ELD tampering and cargo securement
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has shared a “cheat sheet” aimed at helping truck drivers and carriers prepare for this year’s International Roadcheck, with special attention on ELD tampering and cargo securement.
International Roadcheck is an annual, high-visibility inspection campaign where enforcement across North America concentrates on commercial vehicle and driver compliance. While inspectors check a wide range of items, CVSA selects specific focus areas each year to highlight common violations and safety risks.
This year’s cheat sheet is meant to give drivers a quick, practical reference for two areas that can lead to out-of-service orders, citations, and downtime: ensuring electronic logging devices are used properly and ensuring loads are secured correctly.
For drivers, the message is straightforward: the easiest inspection is the one you’re already ready for. During Roadcheck, more trucks are pulled in and more inspections are performed, so small issues that might otherwise slip by can quickly turn into lost time.
By flagging ELD tampering and cargo securement as key priorities, CVSA is also reinforcing a broader point for the industry: accurate hours-of-service records and secure freight are foundational safety issues, not paperwork details.
