[Masthead] Fair ~ 46°F  
Trooper Robert Clemmons inspects the brakes of a commercial vehicle that was pulled over for inspection. He measures the distance the push rod goes into the brake chamber to determine if they are safe or not. While on the creeper he checks the beams and makes sure the frame of the trailer is not cracked. It is possible for only the trailer to fail inspection and not the truck. The driver has the option to leave the tractor and trailer there until it is fixed or he can just leave the trailer.
