| Roadside Inspection Activity Summary |
|
This report consists of two tables. The first table presents a
summary of roadside inspection activity for all three calendar years for all inspections,
the driver OOS rate (calculated using inspection levels 1, 2, and 3),
the vehicle OOS rate (calculated using inspection levels 1, 2, and 5),
and the Hazardous Material (HM) OOS rate (calculated using inspection levels 1, 2, and 3 where HM is present).
The second table presents inspection activity, both with and without violations,
and OOS rates by inspection type (All, Driver, Vehicle and HM)
for all states for the three most recent calendar years along with
each state's percentage of the national totals.

Definitions
|
OOS Rate- The OOS rate represents the percentage of all inspections that resulted in OOS orders.
Because a single inspection can result in an OOS order for either the driver or the vehicle,
or potentially both, the column is divided into two subcategories for driver and vehicle.
|
|
Roadside Inspections - A roadside inspection occurs when a Motor Carrier Safety Assistance
Program (MCSAP) inspector conducts an examination on individual
commercial motor vehicles and drivers to determine if they are in
compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and/or
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs.) Serious violations result in the
issuance of driver or vehicle OOS orders. These violations must be corrected
before the affected driver or vehicle can return to service. Traffic enforcement violations
may also be recorded in conjunction with a roadside inspection.
