Several rest areas on Interstate 95 and throughout the state are regularly used as temporary weigh and inspection stations. In addition to these enforcement details, all Troop K troopers carry portable scales and can stop and weigh trucks anywhere. Inspections are conducted to established North American Standards, and results are electronically submitted to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's SAFER system.

Other functions and missions of Troop K - Commercial Vehicle Enforcement include; providing technical expertise and assistance to local and municipal law enforcement agencies with commercial vehicle issues, responding to serious motor vehicle crashes involving commercial vehicles, enforcing federal regulations pertaining to hazardous materials, and conducting speaking engagements for the commercial transportation industry to address specific problems.
