* Washington - Fatigued truckers targeted by law enforcement agencies
Olympia,WASH,USA -Fleet Owner, by Deborah Whistler -Aug. 22, 2013: -- Law enforcement agencies in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia are partnering to target truck drivers who are running over allowable hours of service... In an attempt to reduce the number of fatigued commercial vehicle drivers, the Washington State Patrol’s (WSP) Commercial Vehicle Division (CVD), will step up enforcement efforts focused on commercial vehicle driver’s hours of service... Officers will stop and cite drivers who exceed their maximum allowable time behind the wheel, according to a Washington State Patrol press release... During the emphasis, Washington will open all truck scales throughout the state as staffing allows, and conduct roving patrols to inspect trucks and drivers who attempt to avoid the inspection sites by traveling on bypass routes... Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia will share data and information during the emphasis to help verify the hours of service of drivers suspected of exceeding their time behind the wheel or altering their driver log books...
