The Nebraska State Patrol’s (NSP) Carrier Enforcement Division recently conducted a local commercial vehicle inspection campaign.
The inspection effort took place on Wednesday, May 21, in Lancaster County, Nebraska.
The operation targeted commercial vehicles that might not travel outside the city or pass-through weigh stations as part of their regular routes.
See below for key takeaways from NSP:
- 26 commercial vehicle inspections
- 73 violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and state law
- 7 vehicles out-of-service
- 0 drivers out-of-service
