INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — The Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division inspected more than 6,000 commercial vehicles in the first six weeks of 2026, placing hundreds of drivers and vehicles out of service and participating in a human trafficking awareness campaign, according to data released March 3, 2026.

From January 1 through February 14, 2026, ISP CVED completed 6,455 commercial motor vehicle inspections. A total of 653 drivers and 752 vehicles were placed out of service during that period. Troopers also recorded 49 oversize violations and 278 overweight violations.

During the week of January 12 through 16, ISP CVED participated in the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign, conducting 718 inspections and distributing 1,007 wallet cards and brochures to commercial motor vehicle drivers. Campaign efforts also included seven public speaking engagements, six media interviews, and 11 social media posts.

From January 25 through 28, CVED personnel assisted local ISP districts in the aftermath of a winter storm, investigating 131 vehicle crashes and taking 2,342 calls for service — both above and beyond their normal duties.

The ISP CVED is responsible for enforcing both state and federal regulations on all commercial motor vehicles, including conducting safety inspections, New Entrant Safety Audits, and compliance reviews covering equipment and hours-of-service regulations. The division also enforces Indiana's size and weight laws, ensures commercial carriers are properly registered, verifies fuel tax compliance, assists in post-crash commercial vehicle investigations, and manages the annual school bus inspection program. ISP CVED's enforcement efforts are part of Governor Braun's public safety platform to ensure safe environments for all Hoosiers.
