Indiana State Police say commercial vehicle enforcement officers placed hundreds of trucks and drivers out of service during inspections conducted in the first six weeks of 2026.
The Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division completed 6,455 commercial vehicle inspections between Jan. 1 and Feb. 14, identifying 653 drivers and 752 vehicles that were taken out of service for safety violations, the agency said in a release.
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.
