Large truck control in Bremen: 33 violations revealed!

in the Bremen fauna, more precisely on June 4, 2025, a great control of trucks was carried out on the Europaallee in Hemelingen. Not only police officers from Bremen and Bremerhaven took part in this campaign, but also customs officials and dangerous goods experts from various federal states. The goal was clear: the review of truck regarding their loading, especially with regard to waste and dangerous goods, as well as the technical condition of the vehicles.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the officers took a close look at a total of 60 trucks. They were able to determine impressive 33 administrative offenses. It was particularly often noticed that the loads were improperly secured, the steering and rest periods were disregarded and the necessary equipment for the transport of dangerous goods was often missing. These violations meant that six trucks had to set their onward journey while the investigation continued to run.

important controls for security

The controls are not just a proverbial "action for the cat". * Balm* clearly shows that monitoring and control of the transportation of goods plays an important role. The control authorities have the mandate to stop and check both domestic and foreign vehicles. This is not only about the technical aspects of the vehicles, but also about compliance with the regulations that are defined in the property transport law.

The most important topics include the proper management of the necessary documents, the use of trip writers and compliance with the prescribed steering and rest. Technical controls are also a central component in which brake systems, steering, lighting, tires and the exhaust gas cleaning system are put through their paces.

The most common violations

A special problem is the insufficient securing of loads. According to estimates, around 20% of truck accidents are due to poor or lack of attachment of the load. In 2020, 537 accidents with personal injury and over 1,000 cases with property damage due to insufficiently secured loads, as * Prosafecon * reported. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, only 35% of the 2,170 controlled trucks had secured their charge in accordance with the road traffic regulations.

Responsibility for the proper securing of the cargo is not solely with the driver; Entrepreneurs and shippers are also in demand when it comes to transporting the loads safely. * Balm* emphasizes that the cargo must be so secured that it cannot slip or fall even if there is sudden movements. Possibilities for securing loads are diverse: from shape and strength-friendly methods to special aids such as loading beams and clamping boards.

The Bremen police have already announced that such controls will continue in the future to increase security on the streets. After all, it's not just about regulations, but also about the protection of life and health - a challenge that must be taken seriously.
