2023 International Roadcheck
- Dates: May 16 – 18, 2023
- Focus:

During inspection of ABS on a commercial motor vehicle, inspectors will:
- Determine whether ABS is required on the vehicle(s).
- Ensure the ABS lamp cycles on and off for all ABS- required vehicles during the diagnostic check.
- Check for indications of an ABS malfunction, such as lamps remaining on during transit.
During inspection of cargo securement on a commercial motor vehicle, inspectors will:
- Ensure spare tires, loads, cargo and dunnage are secured and prevented from falling, blowing, spilling or leaking from the vehicle, or rolling or shifting in transit.
- Confirm there are enough tiedowns for the weight and length of the items being transported.
- Check for defective securement devices (e.g., loose, torn, damaged, bent, knotted tiedowns).
- Inspect anchor points and structures for damage.
- Verify commodity-specific cargo is secured in accordance with the regulations.
