They're called the Motor Carrier Safety Unit.
WYTHE COUNTY/BLAND COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) - There’s a small specialized unit of state troopers in Virginia who check the safety and equipment of all commercial vehicles.
“The primary unit that’s responsible for monitoring the safety and equipment of all commercial vehicles,” said Sgt. Steve Lowe, an area supervisor in the Virginia State Police Motor Carrier Unit.
Every year, about 65 specially-trained troopers are responsible for inspecting nearly 36,000 commercial vehicles statewide.
“It’s a very dirty and a very serious process that we go through out here to make sure that these trucks are operating safely,” said Sgt. Lowe.
