CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) is participating in the upcoming Nation’s biggest commercial carrier enforcement blitz happening May 4-6. This blitz will focus on hours of service and lighting violations.
The WHP will participate in this blitz by checking Hours of Service violations and lighting violations. “According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the lighting violation “lamps inoperable” (Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations 393.9) was the number one vehicle violation in fiscal 2020, accounting for approximately 12.24 percent of all vehicle violations discovered that year
During last year’s International Road Check, the top driver out-of-service violation category in North America was hours of service, accounting for 34.7 percent of all driver out-of-service conditions.” Truck drivers who are hauling COVID-19 vaccine shipments will not be held up for inspection unless there is a major safety violation.
