Dozens of safety violations were identified during a two-day commercial vehicle enforcement operation in Mineral County, resulting in multiple drivers and vehicles being taken off the road.
Nevada State Police Highway Patrol Division troopers conducted the operation Nov. 2-3 at Montgomery Pass, focusing on commercial vehicles and compliance with safety regulations, according to the Division in an online post.
During the operation, troopers made 69 traffic stops and completed 69 commercial vehicle inspections. Those inspections uncovered 73 violations.
As a result, eight drivers and three vehicles were placed out of service because of safety violations.
Commercial vehicle troopers work to ensure trucks and their drivers meet safety standards and follow regulations intended to protect everyone traveling Nevada's highways.
The Division says these enforcement operations are aimed at reducing risks, preventing crashes, and making highways safer for all drivers.
