(LARGO, MD) -- Maryland State Police commercial vehicle enforcement personnel, joined by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), is holding the official U.S. kick-off event for Roadcheck 2013. This is a multiple-day initiative focusing on ensuring the safe equipment and operation of buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles operating in North America.
On June 4, 2013, Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division inspection teams will work fixed and roving locations throughout the Washington, D.C metro area. Teams of troopers and inspectors will target commercial vehicles committing traffic violations and in violation of state and federal safety regulations. Starting tomorrow and running 72 hours straight, inspectors from North America will conduct Level 1 inspections of passenger carrying commercial vehicles as well as properly secured cargo.
Roadcheck 2013 helps to remind carriers of the importance of maintenance and compliance with commercial vehicle safety regulations. Inspections will be conducted of vehicle equipment, secured cargo, driver’s log books, hazardous materials documentation, and other areas that impact safe operation.
A special emphasis will be on the new hours-of-service requirements that take effect on July 1, 2013.
