International Roadcheck is an annual 72-hour commercial vehicle inspection and enforcement event organised by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. During the event, inspectors check trucks, buses, drivers, and motor carriers for safety and regulatory compliance. Inspections may review brakes, tyres, lights, cargo securement, hours-of-service records, driver credentials, hazardous materials, and vehicle condition. For carriers and shippers, Roadcheck can affect capacity, routing, and delivery schedules.
