In addition, McCormick will tell attendees the various aspects of the equipment and cargo inspectors look at during roadside inspections, including:

  • Lights and signals
  • Tires and brakes
  • Kingpin and trailer condition
  • Load distribution and securement

McCormick will also present examples of ‘red flags’ that may lead to a vehicle being put out of service. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session following the presentation to address specific issues attendees may have faced during past inspections.
