PLEASE READ AND RSVP

You are invited to participate in the Roadside Inspection conducted by the Tennessee Trucking Association in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Safety on June 4, 2024 at the Knoxville Scales located on I-40 mm 372. We will meet on the East bound side.

As in the past, participants will divide into teams and a State Trooper will be assigned to lead each team.  Teams will work with the troopers as they pull vehicles in for inspections.  Level I, II and III inspections will be conducted.  It is the best educational experience a company can have regarding how roadside inspections are conducted.  You will see what might prompt a vehicle to be pulled in, what determines the level of inspection to be performed, and what is expected when paperwork and equipment is checked.  It begins at 8:00 am Eastern Time and concludes around 2:30 pm or 3:00 pm, with a summary of the inspections conducted throughout the day.

You don’t have to be a member to participate.  There will be several “visitors” present.  If you can possibly get away, I think you will find it to be a very enlightening experience.  Even if you can’t make it, please try to send someone from your company who works with log records, safety or maintenance.  We have had company owners, administrative personnel, dispatch, maintenance, etc., participating in the past.  All have gone away with valuable information and experience. Please share this with anyone in the industry you feel might be interested in participating.
