Description

You are invited to participate in a Roadside Inspection conducted by the Tennessee Trucking Association in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Safety on November 7th at the Giles County Scales on I-65 North, mile marker 5 out of Alabama – northbound side. Click here to RSVP.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The date has been changed from October 30th to November 7th. Please make a note of the new date.

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 are checked. It begins at 8:00 a.m. Central Time and concludes around 2:30 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. 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 get away, please join us for this opportunity to learn about scale inspections. Even if you can’t make it, please try to send someone from your company who works with log records, scale violation paperwork, safety, or maintenance. We have had company owners, administrative personnel, dispatch, maintenance, etc., participating in the past. All have gone away with valuable experience.

Please share this with anyone in the industry you feel might be interested in participating.
