During the 72\u2010hour period, commercial motor vehicle (CMV) inspectors in jurisdictions throughout North America will conduct inspections of commercial motor vehicles and drivers. The focus of this year\u2019s event is on hours\u2010of\u2010service compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) President Christopher Turner explains, \u201cThe top reason drivers were placed out of service during last year\u2019s International Roadcheck was for hours\u2010of\u2010service violations.\u201d He noted, \u201cThirty\u2010two percent of drivers who were placed out of service during last year\u2019s Roadcheck were removed from our roadways due to violations related<br \/>\nto hours\u2010of\u2010service regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During International Roadcheck, NDHP troopers and civilian inspectors will primarily conduct the North American Standard Level I Inspection, a 37\u2010step procedure including an examination of driver operating requirements and vehicle mechanical fitness. Drivers must provide information such as a driver\u2019s license, hours\u2010of\u2010service documentation, motor carrier registration and shipping documentation. Seat belt usage and the influence of alcohol and\/or drugs are also monitored.<\/p>\n<p>NDHP Lieutenant Jody Skogen says, \u201cSince the focus this year is on hours\u2010of\u2010service violations, we have the opportunity to partner with thousands of inspectors across North America to help ensure drivers of commercial motor vehicles aren\u2019t fatigued when they are behind the wheel.\u201d facebook.com\/ndhighwaypatrol twitter.com\/NDHighwayPatrol<br \/>\nSkogen goes on to state, \u201cOur most valuable partners are the professional CMV drivers who make it a priority to operating within regulatory guidelines. We interact with professional drivers on a daily basis and we share the same priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vehicle inspection includes inspecting vehicle components which, upon failure, have an unreasonable high probability of causing a crash. Some of these critical components include braking mechanisms, tires and rims, cargo securement, coupling devices and lighting.<br \/>\nIf critical inspection violations are found during the Roadcheck, the driver or vehicle may be put out of service if the condition meets the North American Out\u2010of\u2010Service Criteria. This means the driver cannot operate the vehicle until the vehicle and\/or driver qualification violation(s) are corrected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BISMARCK, N.D.\u00a0 (CSi) \u2013 The North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) will be participating in the International Roadcheck June 5, 6 and 7.
