JJ Keller Entry Level Driver Training for CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) Practice Test

A CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) decal is placed on a commercial vehicle when it passes a roadside inspection and no violations are found during the examination. This decal serves as a certification that the vehicle complies with safety standards and regulations set forth for commercial vehicles.

The presence of the decal indicates to enforcement personnel that the vehicle has been inspected recently and met all the criteria for safety and compliance. It can also facilitate future inspections by allowing officers to determine quickly that the vehicle has been verified as compliant.

This practice helps promote safety on the roads by encouraging regular inspections and maintenance of commercial vehicles, ensuring that they operate in a safe manner for both drivers and the public. Recognizing that placements of decals happen under conditions of compliance reinforces the importance of maintaining vehicle standards and citing significant reasons for the decal's presence.
