The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), an organization of enforcement carriers across North America, has been ramping up its enforcement of a 1998 law requiring labels on rear impact guards.

Since 1998, trailers with long overhangs and vans have been required to have rear impact guards (RIGs).  Each of these RIGs must also be properly labeled.  According to reports, drivers are seeing an increase in violations for issues with these decals.  This has caught the attention of the American Trucking Association, who have expressed concern over the increase.

A properly formatted label should list the name of the trailer manufacturer, where the trailer was built and when.
