Safety Test * USA - 50 percent of trucks fail random ODOT ones

The Oregon Department of Transportation said Wednesday more than 50 percent of trucks and 20 percent of drivers in this week's safety inspections were taken out of service for safety violations

OR,USA -kgw.com -July 25, 2007: -- ... So far 126 drivers out of 524, and 27 vehicles out of 46 inspected were taken out of service. Most of the violations were logbook deficiencies or driving too many hours without rest breaks... Inspectors said they would focus on drivers but also do vehicle inspections in some cases... The most common violations for trucks were related to tires and wheels, brakes and secured loads... (Photo by KGW - A semi truck splashes through a puddle on a Portland street)
