There’s probably a few worried trailer trucking firms and owner operator trucking professionals making plans to try to be at their best during the expected 72-hour safety blitz by the safety agency officials from June 8 to 10. Called Operation Roadcheck by many, the upcoming trucking transport inspection period is estimated to be the largest targeted trucking services inspection on the planet. This year’s edition is apparently going to go on your official CSA 2010 score, so the score you achieve is going to possibly affect your CSA 2010 ratings and your relationship with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association.
If you have had a less than stellar record before? This period is a chance for you to show the FMCSA that you’re a different and safer transport driver. It could also be a chance for you to set a good example for young drivers in the industry and put your professional safety standing in order. Young drivers, who will be experiencing Operation Roadcheck for the first time, might want to seek advice from experienced drivers in order to prepare a little better. The better prepared you’re for anything that might happen during an inspection or the more knowledge of the process you have the easier the affair is bound to go, when you’re talking to officials from the FMCSA. Drivers with an outstanding safety record, this is your time to shine and try to pass on some of your wisdom to drivers who are looking for advice on how to be a safer and more professional driver.
Whatever your current safety record is or future CSA 2010 rating? There’s only a short time to prepare and get your truck in order before Operation Roadcheck begins, so you better start getting ready. This doesn’t of course guarantee that everything will go without a hitch, but it certainly is going to help.
