The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has released the findings from the 2025 International Roadcheck, an intensive inspection initiative that took place from May 13 to 15. Over the course of 72 hours, inspectors conducted 56,178 inspections across North America. The results indicated 81.6% of vehicles and 94.1% of drivers passed without any out-of-service (OOS) violations.
Key Insights:
- High Compliance Rates: 81.6% of inspected vehicles and 94.1% of drivers were compliant.
- Top Violations: Tire, brake and lighting issues continue to be the leading causes of vehicle OOS violations.
- Importance of Proactive Measures: Regular inspections, accurate Records of Duty Status (RODS), and thorough fleet checks significantly reduce downtime and enhance safety.
This year, inspectors paid particular attention to tire conditions and the accuracy of RODS. A total of 2,899 tire-related OOS violations were recorded, representing 21.4% of all vehicle OOS issues. Additionally, 332 driver OOS violations stemmed from inaccurate RODS, accounting for 10% of driver-related violations.
The inspection results revealed that tire issues topped the list of vehicle violations, followed by brake system deficiencies and lighting/electrical problems. This underscores the necessity of consistent inspections and preventive maintenance to keep commercial vehicles safe and operational.
In recognition of compliance, 16,521 CVSA decals were awarded to vehicles that passed either a Level I or V inspection without critical violations. This included 11,411 power units, 5,043 trailers, and 67 buses/motorcoaches—an important acknowledgment of safety efforts on the road.
The CVSA stresses the critical nature of regular maintenance and accurate record-keeping for ensuring safety and compliance. Drivers and motor carriers are urged to familiarize themselves with inspection criteria and proactively address potential issues to maintain high safety standards on the highways.
Since its inception in 1988, more than 1.8 million roadside inspections have been conducted during International Roadcheck. For this year’s initiative, approximately 13 vehicles per minute were inspected throughout North America.
The next International Roadcheck is scheduled for May 12-14, 2026.
