Wisconsin: Targeting enforcement for violations

Only one state does it better — or in many truckers’ perspectives, worse — than Wisconsin. With more than 3 violations written for every inspection performed in 2014, the state closed in on category leader Connecticut.

Wisconsin follows only Connecticut in the violation intensity of its individual inspections, with more than three violations issued for every inspection performed. The good news? Truckers traveling through the state are relatively unlikely to receive an inspection, given Wisconsin’s inspection intensity ranking falls in the latter half of states and behind all neighboring states.

The state’s reputation as being tough on truckers, however, continues with its No. 2 position in the inspection intensity rankings and active weigh-station inspection program. The state in 2014 was more likely to delay drivers for vehicle and credentials checks than any state other than Maryland, and it’s perennially near the top of Overdrive’s CSA’s Data Trail inspection-intensity rankings.
