"The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is a not-for-profit organization, established to promote an environment free of commercial vehicle accidents and incidents. Our mission is to promote commercial motor vehicle safety and security by providing leadership to enforcement, industry and policy makers. This is accomplished by establishing effective transportation safety standards for motor carriers, drivers, vehicles, and inspectors through compliance, education, training, and enforcement programs." That blurb is from the CSVA website. I learned from OOIDA that the CSVA's annual "roadcheck" is scheduled for June 3-5th. It's a great time to go fishing. What law enforcement folks just love to to do is play up dress up and give people with little or no say a hard time. It is a 3 day tailgate party for 10,000 inspectors. Why we don't have 10,000 inspectors searching for Osama Bin Laden or illegal aliens or drug smugglers is a mystery me. But then truck drivers have no power, no say in the matter and will do nothing but bend over like the good little victims they've always been.
