Derek Barrs, FMCSA Administrator, was on scene to oversee the operation, taking in an “aerial overview of enforcement operations,” visiting an inspection station in Monroe County and “work[ing] alongside CVE officers during traffic stops, inspections.”

“The visit highlighted the strong partnership between Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, DPS, and supporting state partners to keep commercial traffic moving safely while protecting the motoring public. We appreciate the professional drivers and carriers who prioritize safety each day, as your commitment protects the motoring public and strengthens Georgia’s economy,” Georgia DPS said.
