Regulatory Policy Committee Chairman

Troy Robertson

Con-way Truckload

Roadside inspections are more effective than state inspections conducted annually or semiannually because they focus on the condition of drivers and loads as well as the condition of vehicles and equipment.

Vehicles should be placed out of service only because of imminently hazardous conditions. Vehicles should not be impounded.
