Road Check!
Good Morning to ya Road Crew! Behave yourselves today!
We will get rolling here in a few minutes. For the next three days, it is Road Check 2014! What is it? Basically, every officer they can muster up will be pulling inspections on trucks and truckers all around the country. True, they can give inspections anywhere at anytime, this time of year they set aside to really check as many as 1,000 trucks an hour! They use the data they get from these checks to determine if more laws are needed….
Here is some information from last year’s Road Check:
73,023 trucks and buses were inspected in 2013, but only 22.4% of trucks and 3.9% of drivers were placed out of service. This is an historically low percentage.
