The Wisconsin State Patrol (WSP) is taking part in a major statewide distracted driving detail using big rigs to spot violations.

 

On Sunday, WSP announced a “Trooper in a Truck” enforcement effort taking place statewide from July 11 — 15. The operation will be conducted in partnership with the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association.

 

During the Trooper in a Truck campaign, “officers will be on the lookout for dangerous distracted driving behavior from vantage point of a commercial motor vehicle.”
