CICERO, New York (WWNY) – A commercial truck and trailer were impounded on Interstate 81 Wednesday after a New York State Police inspection uncovered 26 violations, including defective brakes and falsified driver logs, troopers said.<\/p>\n
Members of the Troop D Traffic Incident Management Unit and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit stopped a 2023 Dodge pickup towing a 2024 Buckeye flatbed trailer around 3:45 p.m. on July 8 in the town of Cicero after troopers observed the vehicle was not displaying required U.S. Department of Transportation identification markings.<\/p>\n
What troopers found<\/p>\n
The driver, Dmitrii Timofeev, 39, of Brooklyn, told troopers he had picked up a vehicle from an auction and was transporting it to a customer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
Troopers determined the commercial truck was unregistered and uninsured. The trailer displayed a temporary Ohio registration that had expired in 2025. Timofeev was also found to be operating the vehicle in violation of restrictions on his New York driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n
A Level II Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspection identified 26 violations in total. Four of those were classified as out-of-service violations. The violations included defective brakes, false driver\u2019s logs, and licensing restriction violations.<\/p>\n
Prior violations, active warrants<\/p>\n
Troopers also determined Timofeev has an extensive history of commercial motor vehicle out-of-service violations across multiple states. He also had non-extraditable warrants from Idaho and Arkansas related to previous commercial motor vehicle violations.<\/p>\n
Timofeev was issued numerous Uniform Traffic Tickets. The truck and trailer were placed out of service and impounded.<\/p>\n
New York State Police said enforcement efforts like the Cicero stop are intended to prevent crashes and remove unsafe vehicles from the road.<\/p>\n
