CVSA Sets 2027 International Roadcheck for May 11-13

The 2027 International Roadcheck is set for May 11-13. It will cover commercial vehicles and drivers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Inspectors will mainly use the North American Standard Level I check. That is a 37-step review of driver papers and vehicle condition.

Vehicle checks can cover brakes, tires, lights, steering, suspension, coupling devices, and cargo securement. Driver checks can cover commercial driver's licenses, hours-of-service records, medical qualifications, other required documents, and signs of impairment.

A driver or vehicle with serious violations can be placed out of service until the problem is fixed. A truck that passes an eligible Level I or Level V check without critical vehicle violations may get a CVSA decal valid for up to three months.

In the 2026 event, held May 12-14, inspectors made 54,575 inspections across North America. About 19% of vehicles and 5.8% of drivers were placed out of service.

The 2026 event gave special attention to cargo securement and to tampering or falsification of electronic logging devices. Medical certification violations were the top driver out-of-service issue, and English-language proficiency violations were also significant.

CVSA has run International Roadcheck every year since 1988. The program has had more than 1.8 million roadside inspections.
