Truck inspections take vehicles & drivers off the road
Published Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 06:00 PM
During the special enforcement effort, the inspection team conducted 61 inspections, discovered 166 violations, and took 21 vehicles out of service (not allowed to continue on the road). Vehicles are placed out of service for violations relating to bad brakes or tires, or other problems that pose immediate safety risks. In addition, one driver was taken out of service (not allowed to continue driving) for No Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Officers issued a total of $2,500.00 in fines.
The surprise inspections target commercial vehicles that might not travel outside the city or pass through weigh stations as part of their regular routes.
