On October 16, 2025, police in Ayr, Ontario, ran a major inspection blitz on commercial vehicles. Officers wanted to make sure trucks and other big rigs were following the rules and keeping the roads safe.

The breakdown: Here's what came out of the blitz, according to Ontario Provincial Police:

• 140 vehicles inspected in one day.
• 41 trucks taken off the road for not meeting safety or compliance standards.
• 85 total charges handed out during the operation.
• 118 trucks checked for fuel tax issues—no problems found.
• 9 IFTA (fuel tax agreement) checks and 3 license plates removed.
• One driver was given a three-day suspension after a roadside test.

Between the lines: Big inspection days like this mean a lot of pressure for professional drivers, who already have to balance tight deadlines with paperwork and maintenance.

All inspections wrapped up in a single day, with most vehicles checked passing without problems.
