Pressure Systems International (PSI) has released its newest issue of the Commercial Fleet Tire Digest, which addresses the Commercial Vehicle Safety Administration (CVSA) and tires.
According to PSI, every April CVSA publishes an updated handbook titled North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria Handbook and Pictorial. This is the bible for inspectors to use when inspecting commercial vehicles for safety related violations. PSI says the necessity for all enforcement personnel to implement and adhere to these standards is: Matter of law; Perceived as necessary by the society CVSA is protecting; Professional obligation.
PSI says there are three levels of inspections:
- Level 1: Complete vehicle and driver inspection
- Level 2: Walk-around driver and vehicle inspection
- Level 3: Driver and credential inspection
