On July 8, 2026, at approximately 3:45 p.m., members of the New York State Police Troop D Traffic Incident Management Unit (TIM) and Troop D Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit (CVEU) stopped a 2023 Dodge pickup towing a 2024 Buckeye flatbed trailer on Interstate 81 in the town of Cicero after observing it fail to display the required U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) identification markings.<\/p>\n
An investigation determined the operator, Dmitrii Timofeev, 39, of Brooklyn, had recently 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 not registered and was not covered by proof of insurance. The trailer displayed a temporary Ohio registration that expired in 2025. Troopers also determined Timofeev was operating the vehicle in violation of the restrictions on his New York driver’s license.<\/p>\n
A Level II Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspection conducted by Troop D CVEU identified 26 violations, including four out-of-service violations. The violations included defective brakes, false driver’s logs, operating outside the restrictions of the operator’s driver’s license, and other safety-related violations. Due to the severity of the violations, the commercial vehicle was prohibited from further operation.<\/p>\n
Timofeev was issued numerous Uniform Traffic Tickets. The truck and trailer were placed out of service and impounded.

Troopers also determined Timofeev has an extensive history of commercial motor vehicle out-of-service violations in multiple states. Additionally, he had non-extraditable warrants from Idaho and Arkansas related to previous commercial motor vehicle violations.<\/p>\n
The New York State Police remind all commercial vehicle operators and motor carriers of the importance of operating safely and in compliance with all federal and state regulations. Proper vehicle maintenance, accurate recordkeeping, and adherence to licensing requirements are essential to ensuring the safety of everyone traveling on New York’s roadways. Enforcement efforts like these help prevent crashes, remove unsafe vehicles from the road, and keep New York’s highways safe for the traveling public.
