Statute

UCA 72-9

The Motor Carrier Division's mission is (1) Aero crashes, (2) Optimize Mobility, and (3) Preserve the Infrastructure facilitate commerce. This threefold mission is accomplished by ports of entry operations, carrier-based compliance reviews and vehicle/driver inspections.

Eight port of entry facilities are located throughout the state, four on interstates and four on intrastate primary arteries. These operations are used to monitor interstate and intrastate commercial vehicle traffic. At the ports of entry, trucks are checked for siae and weight compliance, proper registration or security credentials and driver/vehicle safety requirements.

In an effort to optimize mobility and streamline the ports of entry clearing processes, all interstate locations are equipped with automatic vehicle identification, weigh-in-motion technologies, and license plate reader technologies. This equipment allows pre-qualified carriers to be screened and weighed while still on the mainline. This saves significant amounts of time and minimizes traffic congestion and delays at the port facilities.

Safety investigators conduct compliance reviews at motor carriers' primary place of business. These reviews consist of a thorough review of a carrier's maintenance practices, driver files, drug and alcohol testing procedures, and overall safety fitness. These reviews are very effective educational tools, and when necessary serve as the basis for civil penalties and departmental actions (i.e., cease and desist orders, probation, permit revocation, etc.).
