In Scottsbluff and Gering, 40 in- spections by the Metropolitan Aggres- sive and Prevention Selective teams found 165 violations that resulted in $3,475 in fi nes. Two drivers were put out of service for not having com- mercial driver's licenses, one for log book violations and one over driver qualifi cations. This fall, the blitzes will concentrate on routes that do not go outside cities or by weigh stations. MAPS teams consist of 20-24 State Patrol Carrier Enforcement Division offi cers. A Sarpy County blitz April 27 resulted in fi ve drivers placed out of service, the most issued in this category. The most vehi- cles placed out of service was in Lincoln, when 45 orders were written April 26. Omaha had the highest total of fi nancial penalties, with $7,700 in fi nes issued April 28. – Jill Dunn Nebraska dinging truckers with inspection sprees Even if you don't pack a comput- er on the road, once you're signed up at your bank or credit union for online access or for mobile banking via your smartphone, you can manage your fi nances anywhere you have web access or a cell signal. That includes check- ing your balance and cleared checks, as well as moving money from one account to another.
