Reminder: It’s International Roadcheck Week
Starting today through Thursday, May 16th, there will be an increase in enforcement of inspections involving commercial motor vehicles all throughout North America. The focus for this year’s Roadcheck is on tractor protection systems and alcohol/drug possession.
