What is CVOR?
In Canada, each province requires that a National Safety Code be issued to each of its carriers. In Ontario, this is called CVOR.
The CVOR system is part of a larger program called the Carrier Safety Rating (CSR) program. Vehicles are monitored and they are taken off the road if they are deemed to be unsafe. Monitoring is done through roadside safety checks, audits as well as through records of any tickets or accidents.

·Trucks with a gross weight of 4500 kg or more.
·Buses that seat 10 or more passengers.
·Commercial vehicles with license plates from either the US or from Mexico
·Recently, tow trucks have also been added to this list.

·A truck or bus with a license plate from another province or territory in Canada.
