During this week’s nationwide Operation Safe Driver Week, the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) is implementing a strategy called “Trooper in a Truck” as part of their enforcement campaign.
NSP is actively participating in the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Operation Safe Driver Week, which is happening from now until Saturday, July 15, across North America.
The NSP has declared that their Carrier Enforcement troopers will be carrying out focused enforcement activities in different areas of the state throughout the week as part of Operation Safe Driver Week. One notable aspect of these efforts is the “Trooper in a Truck” program, where a trooper accompanies a commercial truck driver to observe and identify risky driving behaviors displayed by other motorists around large vehicles.
“Operation Safe Driver week is about the common goal that we all reach our destination safely,” said Captain Marty Denton, Commander of NSP Carrier Enforcement. “Our troopers work closely with the trucking industry to keep roads safe and prevent serious crashes on our roadways, but we also need passenger vehicle drivers to practice safe driving around large trucks. Working together, we can keep Nebraska roads safe.”
