EMPHASIS:
Results Of Troop A Commercial Vehicle Check
Commercial vehicle enforcement troopers and commercial vehicle officers from Troops A, B, C, D, F, G, and H participated in the 2018 Troop A Truck Check from June 18, 2018 to June 22, 2018. A total of 412 commercial vehicle inspections were completed during the operation in Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte counties. Of those inspections, 29 were hazardous material inspections. A total of 477 violations were documented and 74 citations were issued. The inspections resulted in 45 commercial vehicles and 26 drivers being placed out-of-service. The operation had a positive impact on the Kansas City, Missouri, area highways by increasing commercial vehicle safety and regulatory compliance.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
