More Than 4,600 Inspections of Vehicles Transporting Hazardous Materials/Dangerous Goods Conducted Over Five Days

Washington, D.C. (Aug. 28, 2025) – Over five days this summer, commercial motor vehicle inspectors in Canada and the U.S. conducted 4,629 inspections of commercial motor vehicles transporting hazardous materials/dangerous goods (HM/DG) as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) unannounced HM/DG inspection and enforcement initiative.

During this year’s HM/DG Road Blitz, which was June 9-13, inspectors affixed 831 CVSA decals to inspected vehicles. A CVSA decal is placed on a vehicle or vehicle combination after an inspection to indicate there were no critical vehicle or specification cargo tank violations on those vehicles.

Conversely, inspectors discovered 1,169 HM/DG violations, of which 598 (51%) were out-of-service violations. Vehicles with HM/DG out-of-service violations, or any other out-of-service violations, were restricted from further travel until those violations were addressed.
