Certified commercial motor vehicle inspectors throughout North America conducted 4,021 inspections of commercial motor vehicles in one day and restricted 574 (14.3%) of those vehicles from travel due to brake-related out-of-service violations.
Of the 4,021 total inspections conducted, 3,447 commercial motor vehicles did not have any brake-related out-of-service violations – 85.7% of the total number of vehicles inspected. Vehicles that did not have any critical vehicle inspection items may have received a CVSA decal.
