Jason Davis, director of operations for Pilot Flying J Truck Care Service Centers reports that offering this program for drivers is meant to prove success for drivers, though vehicles will receive a critical and thorough inspection.

"During the 72-hour CVSA Roadcheck event, all commercial drivers should be prepared for a thorough inspection of both driver operating requirements and vehicle mechanical fitness," said Davis. "Leading up to the event, Pilot Flying J Truck Care is here to provide necessary preparation tips to professional drivers and to help ensure trucks meet the requirements necessary for the checks. By offering free mid-trip inspections, our hope is that we help more professional drivers pass the checks successfully."

Pilot Flying J reports that mid-trip inspections focus heavily on checking the status of tires, brakes, exhaust features, lights and windshields, among other important vehicle attributes.
