State pushes stricter rules for loads
A trooper pulls over a truck driver for an unsecured load of hay.
CHENEY – A Washington State Patrol trooper cited a hay truck driver June 18 on multiple load violations.
The trooper observed a semi-truck carrying the unsecured load of round bales on State Route 904, a state patrol report said. Upon noticing there were no straps securing the load, the trooper issued an out-of-service violation for endangering other people on the roads.
The patrol did not release the name of the driver even though it is public under state law.
The driver also received citations for malfunctioning trailer brakes and suspension issues.
No one was injured, but the patrol said it...
