In Arkansas, CVSA’s International Roadcheck began at 6 a.m. Tuesday and runs through 6 a.m. Friday. All eastbound commercial vehicles are required to exit I-30 and pass through the inspection station where Arkansas Highway Police randomly select vehicles for a North American Standard Level I Inspection. This 37-step procedure includes an examination of driver operating requirements and vehicle mechanical fitness.
