Salem,OR & Olympia/WASH,USA -oregon.gov/ODOT/TruckingInfo - 17 March 2010: -- During a multi-day inspection operation held last week along the Interstate 5 corridor in Oregon and Washington, the Oregon Department of Transportation and Washington State Patrol recorded more than 782 violations, which were mostly on truck drivers' logbooks and qualifications... The states conducted more than 698 truck safety inspections as part of the operation. During the event, 145 drivers, or 19 percent, were placed out of service for safety violations. The national driver out of service rate is about seven percent... Selected drivers were interviewed, logbooks and documentation were reviewed and vehicles were checked for safety violations. The most common violations were drivers driving too many hours and inaccurate logbooks... In Oregon, the Oregon Department of Transportation Motor Carrier Division has primary responsibility for regulating the trucking industry. In Washington, it's the Washington State Patrol. Both agencies follow the same federal regulations and guidelines for inspecting commercial drivers and their vehicles..
