Keeping Passengers Safe

By Sgt. Gregory Handy Jr., Transportation Safety Services, Louisiana State Police

Sgt. Kevin Leachman and Sgt. Gregory Handy Jr. from Louisiana State Police (LSP) Transportation Safety Services visited Dixieland Tours to conduct carrier terminal facility inspections. Sgt. Leachman is one of three LSP troopers who recently graduated from the newly revised Passenger Carrier Vehicle Inspection course taught by Texas Department of Public Safety.

The course teaches inspectors how to determine the applicability of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for different types of passenger-carrier operations. With this knowledge, LSP troopers can assure the safety of their passengers and the motoring public.

Dixieland Tours has been a great partner throughout the years, and we are thankful that they allow troopers from around the great state of Louisiana to perform inspections at their facility and inspect their motorcoaches.
