Truck Stops Offering Deals on Inspections
With the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) upcoming International Roadcheck, some travel stations that also offer maintenance are hoping to cash in on the event by offering their repair services to fleets and truckers.
Love’s Travel Stops
As of the time of publishing, Love’s Truck Care is offering a free TirePass service (tire inflation and inspection) with the purchase of any other service. Additionally, any and all Department of Transportation inspections that can be done at one of the stops is eligible for a $10 discount.
“Around the clock, Love’s Truck Care and Speedco team members help drivers get back on the road quickly while helping ensure their trucks are safe and legal,” Love’s Truck Care said in a statement. “Our deals on inspections will help save professional drivers even more time and money while they fuel up and prepare for the CVSA International Roadcheck.”
TravelCenters of America
TravelCenters of America (TA), not wanting to be outdone by its competitor, is offering a free inspection to any truck that stops by during a trip until May 15th. This inspection includes:
- Tires: pressure and tread depth.
- Brakes.
- Fluids: checking for leaks and contamination.
- Electrical system: verify that all of the lights, bells, and whistles are operating properly.
- Suspension.
- Cargo: assuring that the load is safely secured to the truck to prevent catastrophe.
There are no strings attached to these inspections other than it having to happen in the middle of a delivery trip, but if you want to go into the lobby while your truck is being inspected and stock up on goods such as candy bars for the road, TA would not mind!
Conclusion
The CVSA International Roadcheck takes place from May 16th to the 18th, and will be an inspection blitz of commercial vehicles all across North America, but primarily within the United States. If you are planning on doing trucking business during that weekend, we highly advise that you take advantage of the deals that these truck stops are offering, or at the very least have your truck(s) inspected in one way or another. If your truck fails inspection, it may be placed out-of-service by law enforcement until the situation is resolved.
