regarding trucking, Texas hits truckers on maintenance violations, and Indiana is focused on speeding tickets. Figures.


With speeding accounting for nearly half of all moving-type infractions marked on inspection reports in 2013, Indiana ranks first in the nation for those violations.

Nearly 80 percent of Indiana’s inspections are taking place on the roadside, not at weigh stations, a rate that has been fairly stable since 2011. 20% more than the national average

Indiana’s priorities are weighted heavily toward reducing truck crashes. That’s an understandable goal, given Indiana ranked second in crashes per lane-mile of highway system. It's also lucrative for the state due to the fines.

Oregon, with the same goal, puts more effort behind hours violations as an influencer of what it sees as dangerous driver behavior. Less interested in money, and more on safety and drivers working conditions.

Virginia leads all states in brake inspections and violations

Maryland is the toughest on level 1 (everything possible) inspections
