State police say 208 trucks were taken out of service last week during a crackdown on commercial vehicles hauling wastewater from Marcellus Shale gas drilling sites.
Police said today the trucks were ordered off the road after the three-day enforcement effort that was focused on Bradford, Clearfield, Susquehanna, Tioga and Washington counties.
About two-thirds of the vehicles were hauling wastewater from wells, and some of the others were also related to the drilling.
Troopers issued 959 citations, most commonly for violations related to brakes, lights or permits.
