One piece of good news from 2017’s enforcement trends is that most of the rise in inspections was due to increased clean inspections, continuing a trend identified in last year’s update in the CSA’s Data Trail series.
There were 172,938 more clean inspections of for-hire carriers’ trucks in 2017 than in 2016. Or, to count inspections that weren’t clean: About 100,000 fewer roadside or fixed-location inspections in 2017 contained a violation. Story by www.overdriveonline.com / Todd Dills
