He says the Iowa effort is focused on the areas with the heaviest traffic.Rumph says they hope to get dangerous drivers and vehicles off the roadways.Drivers with violations will be taken off the road, and faulty vehicles will be pulled from the road until they’re fixed. Rumph can’t say how many trucks and buses they may check.The operation started Monday at 10 p-m and will continue until tonight at 10 p-m.
