Pilot Flying J will offer free mid-trip inspections, a value of $50, through its Pilot Flying J Truck Care program from now through June 7 to prepare for the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s International Roadcheck event June 5-7. Just launched last year, Pilot Flying J Truck Care strives to make the lives of drivers easier while on the road through the program’s mobile emergency roadside assistance and on-site support at its Service Centers.
“During the 72-hour CVSA Roadcheck event, all commercial drivers should be prepared for a thorough inspection of both driver operating requirements and vehicle mechanical fitness,” said Jason Davis, director of operations for Pilot Flying J Truck Care Service Centers. “Leading up to the event, Pilot Flying J Truck Care is here to provide necessary preparation tips to professional drivers and to help ensure trucks meet the requirements necessary for the checks. By offering free mid-trip inspections, our hope is that we help more professional drivers pass the checks successfully.”
Mid-trip inspections are heavily focused on checking the tires and brakes of trucks, and also include the inspection of windshields, exhaust, lights and more. The three most common failed items are tires, brakes and lights. Performing proper inspections on each of these will help reduce the chances of receiving a violation.
Throughout the roadcheck event, professional drivers can utilize Pilot Flying J Truck Care’s 130+ mobile emergency roadside assistance trucks as well as the company’s 16 service center locations across its footprint. Pilot Flying J Truck Care services include mobile emergency roadside assistance, on-site Service Center assistance, tire sales and service offering for both Retail and National Account products, preventive maintenance and light mechanical assistance to professional drivers.
The combined network of more than 750 Pilot and Flying J Travel Centers across North America serves more than 1.6 million customers daily.
