CVSA is pleased to announce that it is resuming in-person, industry-only roadside inspection training courses. The weeklong training course will be on driver regulatory roadside inspection requirements and out-of-service conditions and will take place Nov. 1-5 in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. This will be the Alliance’s first industry roadside inspection training course since November 2019.
This course includes information on regulatory definitions, intrastate vs. interstate operations, commercial driver’s license and driver qualification requirements, hazardous materials, the updated 2020 U.S. hours-of-service rules, annual and trip inspections on commercial motor vehicles, human trafficking and the DataQ filing process.

The fall 2021 Virtual North American Cargo Securement Harmonization Public Forum will be offered as a virtual event, scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 23, 1-5 p.m. EST. This public forum is open to the industry, enforcement and all interested parties.
During this public forum, stakeholders will discuss cargo securement regulations in pursuit of developing and implementing uniform regulatory requirements for the securement of cargo on or within commercial motor vehicles throughout North America.
The North American Cargo Securement Harmonization Public Forum continues efforts begun by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) in 1993 when it approved funding and management for research designed to update and improve cargo securement standards. Subsequently, CCMTA’s initial research and standards were completed, and the effort was expanded with support from the United States. Today, on an ongoing basis, Canadian and U.S. regulators and other constituents participate in this forum to identify and, where appropriate, address cargo securement issues for potential implementation in an internationally harmonized standard.
In order to better enable communication of meeting documents and information, registration is required.
For more information, contact Kerri Wirachowsky at CVSA kerriw@cvsa.org or 301-830-6153.
