Sep 7, 2025 | 8:35 AM

ABBOTSFORD — The Abbotsford Police Department has recently cracked down on commercial vehicles as big rigs sit at the forefront of many traffic incidents in the past few weeks.

On Tuesday (Sep. 2), AbbyPD’s Traffic Unit partnered with the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) team to conduct random mobile inspections of commercial trucks across the city, resulting in:

• 16 inspections,
• 27 violation tickets,
• Nine vehicles taken out of service,
• Six Notice and Orders, and
• One driver receiving a four-month suspension.

“AbbyPD is grateful for our continued partnership with CVSE in promoting road safety and ensuring commercial vehicles operate within legal standards,” wrote Abbotsford police.

Officers conducted a larger-scale trucking inspection blitz back in June, resulting in 104 violations and 11 vehicles being taken out of service.
