In the past few years, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has increased enforcement for CDL violations and Federal Motor Carrier regulations.
In 2011, the Enforcement and Compliance Division of ADOT was created to increase their law enforcement authority by hiring sworn law enforcement officers to enforce Federal Motor Carrier laws at the port of entry in addition to AZ DPS Commercial Vehicle Enforcement details.
