Maryland Police Agency to Conduct Training Session at Mixer Driver Championship

The Maryland Transportation Authority Police Commercial Vehicle Safety Unit has agreed to not only conduct a portion of the 2012 Mixer Driver Championship on Sunday, September 16, but also conduct a learning session for drivers and their supervisors about federal, state and local approaches toward conducting roadside mixer truck safety inspections. Law enforcement officers throughout the U.S. are thoroughly checking concrete mixers for any mechanical problem, such as brakes, lights and engine defects. Drivers are also inspected to ensure they are operating in full compliance with hours-of-service, medical fitness, commercial driver’s license and other federal safety rules.

This topic was covered at last year’s ConcreteWorks by industry experts. With such continual interest, now hear about this rigorous federal inspection initiative from the point of  view of enforcement experts.
