As the weather gets better we are seeing more aggregate and fill trucks on the roads. Trucks should not be filled to the top of the box, items roll from the high point & straight off the side. A load should be below the box edge. Drivers are responsible for checking the load.^MD

How much tint is too much tint? This Tesla grabbed my attention when I couldn’t see the driver stopped beside me at the red light. 6% of light is transmitting through both the front & side windows (94% tint). This is unsafe and illegal. Repeat offender. Charges issued ^DB

This is why you need to get out the cab & check your vehicle before you leave the job site. Once on the road, the insecure load is the drivers fault, not the loaders. This truck was also overloaded. OOS #secureyourload @HaltonPolice

During our @HaltonPolice CMV Blitz this week we saw vehicles being placed out of service for very obvious defects that can be easily found during a pretrip inspection or walk around. Don't get stranded far from home OOS & facing fines & tow fees. #doyourpretrip @CVSA ^MD

Although I prefer the vehicles to be a little bigger, I couldn’t let this one carry on in its current condition. Defects included: Flat tire, load security, overloaded tires, worn chains and signal/brake light inoperative. Driver educated and parked until issues are corrected.^DB

This flatbed was stopped by @HRPSMiltHH @cvsa truck inspector this morning. If you looked closely you can see the shoddy attempt at a repairs. This is a good indicator that the operator knew the defect was there and it didn’t just happen ^pm

This occurred in the USA but could happen anywhere. Shows the importance of ensuring your wheels are installed correctly. 😳^DB

It is always a pleasure to recognize owner operators like William Allen of Allen's Landscape & Excavating, who got @CVSA stickers for a passed inspection of his dump truck & tri axle trailer during #Roadcheck when stopped in @HRPSBurl today. Great job William. ^MD

Please do not make your own licence plates if your old ones are missing or damaged. A+ for effort but not allowed. CMV also has several mechanical issues (flat tire, failed air loss test, overweight issues) placing it OOS. Vehicle is now un-plated awaiting a tow truck ^DB

When this gravel truck came grinding to a halt today at the @OPP_HSD blitz, the driver said his mechanic told him it was just stones stuck in the brake.......wrong big time!! The front right brake pads and shoes were missing, causing metal to metal contact. OOS @HaltonPolice ^MD
