17th Motor Carrier Recruit School - Learning the Basics

Twenty-seven new recruits lined up in front of the Michigan State Police Training Academy on Sunday, July 24, and began their journey to become motor carrier (MC) officers as a part of the 17th Motor Carrier Recruit School.
Motor carrier recruits must go through weeks of grueling training to graduate. In fact, throughout the recruit school, each recruit will endure several benchmarks and challenges to earn his or her badge on graduation day, Nov. 23, 2011.
This video depicts what the recruits go through during the first week of the recruit school. For more information about the 17th Motor Carrier Recruit School, go to msprecruits.wordpress.com.

@RyanMiller3039 Motor carrier officers are armed uniformed members of the Michigan State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, specializing in commercial vehicle enforcement.
Motor carrier officers enforce traffic safety laws on commercial vehicles, protect the infrastructure through aggressive size and weight enforcement, conduct commercial vehicle and driver inspections, and contribute to homeland security efforts by enforcing hazardous material regulations.
