The 2025 CVSA Roadcheck (DOT Blitz) is just one week away! In this episode of Keep Trucking Personal, host Tyler Kivi dives deep into the final prep every driver needs to ace inspections from May 13-15.

Tyler also covers the strict rules on alcohol and substances in the truck, common logbook mistakes (even with ELDs), and the new importance of speaking English fluently during inspections. He shares real-world examples from his own inspection experiences to emphasize the importance of confidence and preparation. Plus, he breaks down how Kivi Bros. Trucking is offering serious incentives for clean inspections, up to $400 each.
