Big Truck Violations in Montgomery County: Safety Issues and Fake Documents Found

In Montgomery County, Texas, a recent truck inspection found some big problems. A Deputy from the Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, led by Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden, stopped a commercial truck and discovered several serious issues. This situation shows the need to keep our roads safe and make sure trucking companies follow the rules.

Dangerous Problems Found on the Truck

During a routine check, the Deputy found a truck that was breaking several laws. The truck was carrying too much weight, which is dangerous and can cause accidents. The truck also had loose gravel that could spill onto the road, creating a hazard for other drivers. Even worse, the driver did not have a commercial driver’s license (CDL), which is required for driving heavy trucks. The driver only had a temporary license and no valid insurance.

Trucker Purchased Fake Documents from Facebook

The story got even more concerning when the truck’s owner admitted to buying fake documents online. The owner said they purchased a fake insurance card and a fake TXDOT registration from Facebook Marketplace. This shows how easy it is to get fake papers online, which can lead to unsafe situations on the road.

Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden explained, “Our Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Deputy has been working hard to ensure that commercial companies comply with state laws. It is shocking to discover that the truck’s owner resorted to purchasing counterfeit documents to bypass legal requirements.”

Immediate Action Taken

Because of these issues, the truck was towed right away. The driver and the owner were given tickets for breaking the law. They were cited for not having a valid CDL, not having insurance, carrying too much weight, and using fake documents.

Focus on Keeping Roads Safe

This case shows how important it is for the Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office to keep the roads safe. Constable Hayden stressed, “We’re committed to keeping our roads safe and holding everyone accountable. Violations like these endanger not just the driver and vehicle owner, but also the general public who share the road.”

The Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office is working hard to make sure all trucks follow the rules. This incident is a reminder that everyone must follow the law to keep our roads safe.

Looking Ahead

The findings in Montgomery County highlight how important it is for law enforcement to check trucks and keep roads safe. It also shows that fake documents can be easily bought online, which is a big problem that needs to be addressed.

As the trucking industry grows, it is more important than ever to enforce laws that protect everyone on the road. The work of the Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office is essential to ensuring safety and responsibility in the trucking industry.
