Kodiak, Drivewyze adapt weigh station bypasses for autonomous trucks

Kodiak Robotics is piloting the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) enhanced inspections program, which allows autonomous trucks to bypass roadside inspections.

The CVSA in September agreed in September to streamline interactions between autonomous trucks and law enforcement at fixed inspection sites. It allows middle-mile driverless trucks to use onboard software to avoid weigh station stops.

Conducting an enhanced inspection requires a CVSA-certified inspector to complete a 40-hour CVSA...

Robot trucks get their own safety inspection treatment

Robot trucks are getting their own Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance inspections because, well, they are not like other trucks.

It took years of work by commercial motor vehicle inspectors, state highway patrols, inspection and enforcement experts, motor carriers, autonomous truck developers and government officials to develop standards to inspect trucks with automated driving systems.

“This is an important step that will facilitate safe and effective deployment of automation,” Kevin Grove,...

The power of your roadside inspection data

Police officer walks up to tractor trailer truck

Each year, the nation’s trucking fleets focus on the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) International Roadcheck enforcement blitz. But the reality is that the three-day event, which in 2021 inspected a little over 40,000 commercial vehicles, represents just a small portion of the nearly 3 million vehicle inspections that occur each year.

Heads up: International Roadcheck is imminent

Drivers take note: International Roadcheck is May 17-19.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) annual inspection is only a few days away, but that’s just enough time to take care of a few loose ends.

Reliance Partners Vice President of Safety Brian Runnels encourages drivers to be a bit more thorough with their pre-trip inspections and to take a couple seconds more to check the air in their tires or take a look at their brake linings to save them from a handful of violations.
