The goal of the project was to provide practical information to FMCSA, commercial carriers, MCSAP agencies, and the CVSA which will be used to guide and improve standardized roadside enforcement of commercial vehicle regulations across North America. This report documents the findings of team-based observations of roadside safety inspections of commercial vehicles and drivers which were conducted by a team of State, Federal and industry representatives to assess their uniformity. The contents of this report reflect the views of the project advisory group based on observations and interviews during seven site visits (Illinois, Arizona, California, Tennessee, Connecticut, Minnesota, and West Virginia) and project team meetings. The report identifies States' best practices in the commercial vehicle inspection process that merit consideration for implementation by other states. The information on State's best practices presented in this report should be considered as tools that States may want to use to strengthen their program. The decision of which practices to choose is entirely up to the State, since each State will have varying organizational structure, levels of resources, and critical safety issues.
