The Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division (CVED) is responsible for enforcing both state and federal regulations on all commercial motor vehicles (CMV). Major tasks include conducting Safety Inspections, New Entrant Safety Audits, and Compliance Reviews to ensure compliance with equipment and hours-of-service regulations.
CVED is also tasked with enforcing Indiana’s size and weight laws and ensuring that commercial carriers are properly registered and paying their fair share of fuel tax dollars. Additionally, they assist in the investigation of commercial vehicle crashes (post-crash inspections) and manage the annual school bus inspection program.
From May 15-June 15, 2026, because of their enforcement efforts, ISP CVED accomplished the following:
Total CMV Inspections Completed – 8,736
- Total Out of Service Drivers – 476
- Total Out of Service Vehicles – 524
Total Number of Oversize Violations – 39
Total Number of Overweight Violations – 257
CVED partnered with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) for CVSA’s Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative. This was an additional human trafficking awareness initiative to remind the commercial motor vehicle industry that human trafficking is a significant concern surrounding major events – such as the FIFA World Cup competition.
During this human trafficking initiative ISP’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement units engaged in conversations with the CMV drivers they encounter during CMV Roadside Inspections. They also passed out materials from TAT (Formerly Truckers Against Trafficking). This additional CVSA Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative was conducted across North America from June 1 – 5, 2026.
ISP CVED’s enforcement efforts are part of Governor Braun’s public safety platform to ensure safe environments to travel, work and live for all Hoosiers and for those who traverse the “Crossroads of America”.
