(Patrol members targeting large motor trucks for hazardous violations & inspecting those trucks)
Currently, the Oregon State Police is responsible for most of the truck inspections performed by law enforcement within the State ofOregon. Truck drivers account for fewer at-fault crashes than passenger vehicle drivers, however, the weight of commercial vehicles and the cargo they typically carry can cause severe crashes. Therefore, Oregon State Police troopers are committed to doing everything possible to ensure that commercial vehicle drivers and their equipment are operating safely.
In 2006, State Troopers conducted 16,711 inspections on commercial vehicles throughout the State of Oregon. The Department works very closely with the staff at the Oregon Department of Transportation Motor Carrier Transportation Division.
