CVSA Roadcheck 2026 results are live, and over 20% of trucks and 5% of drivers were placed out of service across North America.
While 81% of vehicles and 94% of drivers passed clean, the violations that did get written up reveal critical blind spots for fleets and owner-operators. From brake-related failures to heightened scrutiny on cargo securement and ELD data tampering, inspectors did not let up.
In our latest RoadCheck episode, we break down the full inspection data, analyze why medical cards became the #1 driver violation, and share what your maintenance and compliance teams need to fix today.
