Roadcheck June 2-4, 2015 - Plan Accordingly

Saw this posted at a TA:

 The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's (CVSA) 28th annual International Roadcheck will take place June 2-4, 2015. International Roadcheck is a 72-hour period when approximately 10,000 CVSA-certified local, state, provincial and federal inspectors in jurisdictions across North America perform truck and bus inspections.

Each year, International Roadcheck places special emphasis on a category of violations. The special emphasis for International Roadcheck 2015 is cargo securement.

Inspectors will primarily be conducting the North American Standard Level I Inspection, which is the most thorough roadside inspection. 

Here's the link to the whole press release:

Plan your home time accordingly!

Since its inception in 1988, roadside inspections conducted during Roadcheck have numbered over 1.4 million, resulting in an estimated 318 lives saved and 5,840 injuries avoided. It also provides an opportunity to educate industry and the general public about the importance of safe commercial vehicle operations and the roadside inspection program.

That's all it's done in that many years? Sheesh. They could spend the time coming up with safer ways to handle HOS and giving talks to high school students about safe driving around large commercial vehicles and I bet those numbers would soar in less time.

Well, Jessica, you, or anyone you know, might have been one of the 318 lives saved or 5,840 who could have been injured.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying there's so much more that could be done.

If I hadn't needed to get a tarped load reworked yesterday, Errol... I would have posted this last night. Didn't see yours til just now.

Really hoping that I get my home time now. I put in for it three weeks ago ;)
