At the request of the the Saline County Commission, Road and Bridge Department, and Sheriff’s Office, the Kansas Highway Patrol motor carrier inspectors are going to begin increasing inspection of trucks which may be overweight.

Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said four different units of the motor carrier inspectors were in different areas of Saline County on Thursday.

Five trucks were stopped and three citations were issued. The three trucks issued citations were on Country Club Road.

Kochanowski said letters were sent to truck companies informing them of the increased enforcement.
