In a recent two-day safety push, Arizona’s inspectors were out in full force to keep the highways safe. From August 27-28, they checked out 178 trucks and drivers, looking closely at their brakes. It wasn’t just a routine stop — they found 521 issues along rest areas on I-17 and I-40.
By the end of it, 45 trucks and 16 drivers were taken off the road for failing to meet safety standards. One trucking company even got hit with a violation that put them out of service altogether.
The main focus? Brakes. Inspectors made sure brake pads were in good shape and all the warning systems were working right. The Arizona Commercial Vehicle Safety Partnership, a team made up of state troopers and transportation officers, led the charge to make sure everything was up to code.
