CVSA Releases 2025 International Roadcheck Results

Washington, D.C. (Oct. 7, 2025) – Commercial motor vehicle enforcement personnel in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. conducted 56,178 commercial motor vehicle, driver and cargo inspections on May 13-15 as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) 72-hour International Roadcheck inspection, enforcement and data-gathering initiative. Most of the vehicles (81.6%) and drivers (94.1%) inspected did not have any out-of-service violations.

 Conversely, inspectors discovered 13,553 vehicle, 3,317 driver and 177 hazardous materials/dangerous goods out-of-service violations and placed 10,148 commercial motor vehicles and 3,342 drivers out of service. The vehicle out-of-service rate was 18.1% and the driver out-of-service rate was 5.9%. Meaning, those drivers and/or vehicles were restricted from further travel until all out-of-service violations were resolved.

Inspectors affixed 16,521 CVSA decals to power units, trailers and motorcoaches/buses during International Roadcheck. A CVSA decal is placed on a commercial motor vehicle or each vehicle in a combination after a certified inspector has confirmed, by completing a Level I or V Inspection, that the vehicle did not have critical vehicle inspection item violations.

 Each year, International Roadcheck places special emphasis on a driver violation category and a vehicle violation category to highlight those aspects of the North American Standard Inspection process. This year, the vehicle focus was tires and the driver focus was false records of duty status (RODS). Inspectors identified 2,899 tire-related out-of-service vehicle violations, the second most-cited out-of-service vehicle violation, after brake systems. Ten percent (332) of all driver out-of-service violations were for false logs/RODS.
