"A great number of commercial motor vehicles travel on our state’s roadways," said Dr. Paul Whitesell, Indiana State Police Superintendent. "Indiana is the Crossroads of America and one of our duties is to make sure commercial vehicles are operating in a safe manner."

Trainees must complete the Motor Carrier Inspector School, which starts on February 25, 2008 and concludes with graduation on April 18, 2008.
