41chevy Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) During the week of August 27 — 31, Commercial Motor Vehicle Law Enforcement departments will choose one day to focus on checking underride guards.The enforcement activity is called “Rear Impact Guard Check” and the CVSA describes it as a “one-time, one-day … enforcement initiative.” Law enforcement officers will be conducting Level I, II, IV or V Inspections during the enforcement actitivites. The Rear Impact Guard Check is being held as a response to a letter drafted by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who asked the CVSA to “consider updating its current North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria to add rear underride guards.” The CVSA says that data gathered during Rear Impact Guard Check will help them to make an informed decision in response to Gillibrand and Rubio’s request. https://cdllife.com/2018/state-police-check-rear-impact-guards-august-enforcement-blitz/ Edited August 5, 2018 by 41chevy Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53978-rear-impact-guard-check-blitz/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
