Descriptive analysis is used to describe the results of interviews and documentation from informants. The results of the research show that: (1) the percentage of the results of measuring the effectiveness of supervision based on the process reaches 78%, which means it is quite effective; (2) The inhibiting factors for supervision, namely the condition of human resources are not yet ideal and the implementation of work standards is not perfect, internal control is weak, law enforcement is weak, legalawareness of owners of freight transport is weak and facilities/infrastructure are not adequate; (3) Efforts to overcome the empirical problem of ODOL trucks include the recruitment of specializations for motor vehicle testers, the leadership must be a role model for subordinates, the application of rewards/punishments for the performance of investigators, the implementation of a legal awareness campaign and the provision of inadequate facilities/infrastructure.
