Commercial Vehicle Safety Operation Will Target I-17 and I-40 During International Roadcheck

The Arizona Commercial Vehicle Safety Partnership (ACVSP) will participate in the annual three-day operation “International Roadcheck” on Interstate 17 and Interstate 40 in northern Arizona from Tuesday, May 12, 2026, through Thursday, May 14, 2026.

The ACVSP comprises Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau troopers and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Enforcement and Compliance Division officers.

Enforcement areas will include Interstate 17 from McGuireville to Flagstaff, and Interstate 40 from Flagstaff to the Parks rest areas, as well as ports of entry in northern Arizona.

International Roadcheck is an annual inspection and enforcement operation led by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). During the operation, CVSA-certified inspectors across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. will inspect commercial motor vehicles and drivers at weigh/inspection stations, designated inspection areas, and along roadways to ensure regulatory compliance.

This year’s operation will place special emphasis on cargo securement and electronic logging device (ELD) tampering and falsifications.

Drivers and carriers are encouraged to prepare for this event by conducting pre-trip inspections, ensuring documentation is in order, and addressing any mechanical issues before getting on the road.

The mission of the Arizona Commercial Vehicle Safety Partnership is to ensure safe, secure, and efficient commercial transport across Arizona.

Update on May 20, 2026: Results of International Roadcheck 2026

From May 12–14, 2026, AZDPS Commercial Vehicle Enforcement troopers partnered with ADOT, the FMCSA, Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, and the Buckeye, Eloy, Surprise, and Prescott police departments for the annual “International Roadcheck” enforcement operation in northern Arizona.

Over the three-day operation, troopers and officers conducted more than 1,000 commercial vehicle inspections. Notably, approximately one-third of the inspected vehicles—or their drivers—had violations serious enough to be placed out of service. Among the most common issues were fictitious logbook entries and broken vehicle parts. Troopers also seized more than 5,200 pounds of marijuana during the operation.

Two public outreach events were held to educate company owners, drivers, and community members about commercial vehicle safety. More than 40 members of the trucking industry observed inspections firsthand during the operation.

AZDPS extends our appreciation to the Arizona Trucking Association, Diamond Trucking, and White Mountain Trucking for their support during this event.
