    Be aware that CVSA and FMCSA has joined together again to perform random roadside inspections throughout the United States next week. Have your units checked and prevent any citation or out of service violations.

    Some of the key items are:
    • Low Air Warning Device
    • Pushrod Travel (adjustment)
    • Brake Linings/Drums
    • Air Loss Rate
    • Tractor Protection System
    • ABS light
    ...and don't forget about your driver license, medical card, equipment registration, etc. Come on, and since you are already pulled over, everything else. Heads up! Be safe out there!

    If your equipment isn't good enough to drive next week then it shouldn't be on the road period.

    They do this every year. And since they usually hand out violations without a fine. What is your point?
