For the 20th year in a row, Plains was honored to host the Department of Public Safety (DPS) West Texas Regional Challenge at our Trucking Facility in Midland, Texas. The annual DPS vehicle inspection competition brings together State Troopers and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers from the Midland and Odessa Police Departments to showcase their skills in vehicle inspections and identifying violations. Their expertise is crucial in enforcing Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, helping ensure the safety of Permian Basin roadways.
Competitors were judged in five scenarios: a written exam, a level one inspection, a non-bulk hazardous material inspection, a bulk hazardous material inspection, and a passenger vehicle inspection.
We extend our gratitude to all State Troopers and law enforcement officers dedicated to maintaining safety on our roads. Best of luck to the advancing competitors in the upcoming State Competition and the North American Inspectors Championship later this year!
