OPP say 65 charges were handed during a commercial vehicle enforcement blitz in the Collingwood area.
Collingwood and Blue Mountains OPP were assisted by Huronia West OPP during the blitz on Monday where they added that one vehicle was towed from the highway.
"Yesterday's CMV blitz was primarily focused on vehicles operating on roadways not in compliance during the reduced load season," OPP said in a release.
"During the first day of the CMV enforcement campaign officers from Collingwood OPP and Huronia West OPP were conducting inspections and enforcement in Collingwood to ensure compliance with the Reduced Load regulations."
The violations included:
Overweight charges: 44
Vehicles taken out of service: 1 (major defect)
Mechanical violations: 4
Moving violations: 3
Other violations: 14
"Collingwood and Blue Mountains OPP recognize that the majority of CMV operators are in compliance with the regulations, but will continue to conduct inspections and enforcement of CMVs operating in contravention of the regulations during the remainder of the reduced load season."
