More than 200 violations issued in New York operation targeting overweight trucks, garbage trucks, and dirt haulers

Multiple agencies partnered for a special commercial vehicle operation in New York State this week.

On April 22, 2026, the New York State Police (NYSP) Troop F Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit partnered with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for a detail targeting overweight trucks, garbage trucks and dirt haulers.

Most of the inspections took place on State Route 17 in Orange County, according to NYSP.

As part of the operation, 55 commercial vehicles were inspected, resulting in the discovery of 34 out-of-service violations.

Officers also issued 208 other commercial vehicle violations and 41 tickets.

“This targeted enforcement initiative is the result of a successful partnership that demonstrates a shared commitment to roadway safety. New York State’s commercial vehicle laws mandate strict compliance with safety, weight and registration rules, and our enforcement initiatives help protect highway users from preventable dangers caused by unsafe or unsecured loads, weight violations and unsafe equipment,” said NYSP.
