North Carolina troopers to conduct commercial vehicle enforcement detail along I-95 and I-40 this week

This week, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) will take part in a three day detail targeting driving behaviors likely to contribute to a commercial vehicle crash.

The enforcement effort will take place January 13 through January 15, 2026, with emphasis on the I-95 and I-40 corridors in North Carolina.

Trooper will monitor both commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle traffic for aggressive driving, speeding, tailgating, failing to wear safety belts, distracted driving and impaired driving in an effort to reduce or eliminate commercial vehicle crashes.

“Efforts will also help ensure CMV drivers are following industry regulations, including hours-of-service compliance, commercial driver license compliance, medical certification and commercial motor vehicle credentialing,” NCSHP said.

The three-day traffic enforcement effort is taking place as part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration SafeDRIVE campaign (Distracted Reckless Impaired Visibility Enforcement).

“The goal of SafeDRIVE is to eliminate highway fatalities due to CMV collisions. We urge all road users to please share the road safely!” NCSHP said.
