Prepare for Safety Road Check Week June 4-6
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) International Road Check Event will take place June 4-6. For 3 days, commercial motor vehicle inspectors in jurisdictions throughout North America will conduct inspections on commercial motor vehicles and drivers.
Fewer drivers work during these days to avoid the 37-step safety procedure. Many carriers do not work that week or run a minimal operation.
Capacity during this week is considerably worse than normal conditions and can be reflected in higher rates.
Please call us to book your shipments early. Avoid looking for a truck last minute. Can you ship the week prior of the week following? Consider that option to avoid added pressure during this particular week.
