Which agency is responsible for inspecting trucks?

The State Patrol is typically responsible for inspecting trucks to ensure they comply with safety regulations and requirements. Their enforcement roles include checking for weight compliance, safety equipment, and driver regulations to help maintain safety on the roads.

The other agencies mentioned have distinct responsibilities. The Department of Transportation focuses more broadly on transportation infrastructure and policy rather than direct vehicle inspections. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is involved primarily in regulating vehicle safety standards and consumer protection but does not conduct the inspections directly. The Environmental Protection Agency deals with environmental regulations, including emissions related to vehicles, but it does not perform truck inspections related to operational safety on public roads. Thus, the State Patrol’s role aligns specifically with the enforcement of laws governing vehicle operation and safety inspection.
