The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has released the results from the 2025 International Roadcheck, which was held May 13-15 across North America.
Law enforcement personnel throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico performed a total of 56,178 inspections during the 2025 International Roadcheck, which resulted in 10,148, or 18.1%, commercial motor vehicles being removed from roadways for out-of-service (OOS) violations. CVSA inspectors also placed 3,342, or 5.9%, of inspected drivers out of service for driver violations during the 72-hour high-visibility, high-volume commercial motor vehicle inspection and enforcement initiative. Being placed out of service means the driver or vehicle is prohibited from further travel until all out-of-service violations are corrected.
Commercial motor vehicles that do not have any critical vehicle inspection violations are eligible to receive a CVSA decal. The decal, valid for up to three consecutive months after inspection, is a visual indicator that signals to inspectors that the vehicle has “passed inspection.” During the 2025 International Roadcheck, decals were applied to 11,411 power units, 5,043 trailers and 67 motorcoaches/buses. In total, 16,521 decals were distributed throughout the U.S. and Canada during the 3-day event; Mexico does not distribute CVSA decals.
Each year, International Roadcheck places special emphasis on a category of vehicle violations and a category of driver violations. For the 2025 International Roadcheck, inspectors paid close attention to the vehicle’s tires and the driver’s record of duty status (RODS). According to the CVSA, tire violations accounted for 2,899, or 21.4%, of all vehicle out-of-service violations. Examples of tire violations include flat tires, insufficient tread depth, severe cuts exposing cord ply or other damage resulting in bulges, improper repairs, or tires not rated for the load being carried or not rated for highway use, etc. Ten percent, or 332, of all driver out-of-service violations were due to falsified logs/RODS—a serious offense that conceals actual driving or on-duty hours.
