Attention all commercial motor vehicle operators: Make sure to conduct a pre-trip inspection before you hit the road.
Finding critical defects on a commercial motor vehicle before traveling on Arkansas Highways prevents crashes and better protects the motoring public.

PTL Jeff Whitney graduated from Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy (ALETA) in Camden and received the academic award on July 31. Congrats!
Friendly reminder: Before you head out, make sure your load is properly secured.
Debris falling from trailers can create dangerous conditions for everyone on the road. Arkansas law prohibits cargo from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping from a vehicle or trailer.
On July 16, CPL Joseph McCollum and PTL Gavin Prince gave a Motor Carrier Safety Regulations presentation at Stribling Equipment in Springdale. Officers began with a Q&A portion and then demonstrated a level 2 walk around inspection.
Thank you for having us!
