Eyewitness News talked to some drivers and they say that Texas has one of the toughest code enforcement policies in the country.
"It's a 57 item inspection that we do; we check everything from lights, tires, lug nuts. We check driver qualifications," said Bryon Vecera with the Houston Police Department.
"It's good that they do this for because I've been going on the streets and seeing (debris) in the road and I've seen people run over and going through people's windshields," said truck driver Johnnie Peterson.
Some truck drivers that were pulled over couldn't leave because they had so many violations. One driver didn't have the right license to drive a big rig and another didn't have the proper insurance.
Authorities say they do this to keep our roadways safer.
