Police in Staffordshire said they would be reporting haulage companies to the traffic commissioner after their trucks were pulled over for road traffic offences.
Officers working alongside National Highways patrolled the county’s road network in an unmarked lorry to spot drivers committing offences as part of Operation Tramline.
The force’s road crime team involved in the operation across the A38, A5, A34, A50, A449, M6 and M54 reported 10 drivers for mobile phone offences, including four HGV drivers.
An additional four people were reported for seatbelt offences and three other vehicles stopped for being in a dangerous condition.
Staffordshire police said: “Alongside this, one HGV driver was reported for having an insecure load and another one was reported for being four tonnes overweight.
“The HGV companies will also be reported to the traffic commissioner for possible further action.”
