The annual Roadcheck inspection event is less than a week away. Set to focus this year on drug/alcohol possession and the important tractor-protection systems to maintain braking capability in the event of an air loss, the event will feature plenty full Level 1 inspections all around North America.
Our colleagues at CCJ last week hosted a rapid-fire Q&A with Roadside Inspection Specialist Jeremy Disbrow of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, putting (in many cases) your questions directly to him. There's a strong current in the results of that talk around just what to expect from the event's focus, and if you missed the Bestpass-sponsored online seminar last week, Overdrive readers can now access it on demand via this link.
Or for a quick hit on some of the highlights, catch CCJ Editor Jason Cannon's distillation of some of Disbrow's answers here.
ROADCHECK ARRIVES MAY 14-16.

As far as this year's focus areas, Disbrow sought to dispel the notion among some attendees that state and federal law enforcement might be conducting random drug and alcohol checks at roadside or at the scales during the event.
