operation took place on Seal Beach Boulevard between Saint Andrews Drive and
Golden Rain Road.

A total of 61 commercial trucks were inspected with 47 citations issued. Four vehicles
were placed out of service for various violations and two vehicles were impounded.

Vehicle Code (CVC), Title 13 California Code of Regulations (13 CCR), Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (49 CFR), as well as other statues and regulations relating to the
