The inspection series is being rolled out to clarify the 37-steps taken in a North American Standard Level 1 Inspection, which is followed during the annual Roadcheck inspection blitz as well as other roadside inspections throughout the year.

This year’s Roadcheck will take place from June 6-8, and will highlight cargo securement rules. 

Nearly 17 trucks or buses are inspected every minute during Roadcheck.
