International Roadcheck is a yearly three-day event where inspectors check commercial vehicles and drivers for safety and compliance.

It's the largest commercial vehicle inspection event, with about 15 vehicles inspected every minute across North America.

Since 1988, over 1.8 million inspections have been done during Roadcheck.

The event also educates the industry and public about the importance of safety inspections.

CVSA runs Roadcheck with help from government agencies in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
