Each year, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) conducts its annual International Roadcheck, a high-visibility, high-volume inspection event that puts fleets, drivers, and equipment under the microscope across North America.
This year’s Roadcheck takes place May 12–14, 2026, and preparation is critical. During a recent Aim Transportation Solutions webinar, Regional Safety Manager John Rugarber shared practical insights to help fleets avoid violations, reduce risk, and stay on the road.
Here’s what you need to know.
Fleet management technology has come a long way. Today’s platforms offer real-time insights, maintenance tracking and robust reporting tools designed to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

In today’s operating environment, fleet decisions are no longer just about equipment; they’re about risk, capital allocation, and staying ahead of rapid industry change.
For decades, truck ownership has been the default strategy for many private fleets. But that model is being challenged like never before. Between economic volatility, increasing equipment complexity, and the approaching 2027 emissions regulations, more companies are rethinking whether ownership still makes sense.
From where I sit, the shift toward full-service truck leasing isn’t just a trend. Full-service truck leasing is a strategic response to a fundamentally changing landscape.
