Safety debate over truck inspection staffing in Harrisburg
Harrisburg debate pits top safety official against Senator Clarence D Bell over how many inspectors are needed. Deputy DOT head Jack Zogby says 16 000 inspections were done in 1986 and will rise to over 40 000. Bell says more staff is required while current 15 day checks and towing practices fail to deter violations, enabling evasion at inspection sites.
