Inspectors also issued 49 oversize violations and 278 overweight violations during the same period.

The enforcement division is responsible for ensuring commercial vehicles operating in the state comply with federal and state safety regulations, including equipment standards, hours-of-service rules, and vehicle registration and fuel tax requirements.

In addition to roadside inspections, the division conducts new entrant safety audits, compliance reviews, and post-crash inspections involving commercial vehicles. Officers also manage Indiana’s annual school bus inspection program.

During the week of Jan. 12–16, enforcement officers participated in the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign, conducting 718 truck inspections while also distributing more than 1,000 informational brochures and wallet cards to drivers.
