Abstract
This article presents revised criteria for placing vehicles out of service at roadside safety inspections that have been established jointly by the U.S. Department of Transportation and Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. A vehicle with an Out-Of-Service Defect (OOSD) must be repaired at the inspection site or towed away. At the discretion of an inspector, a vehicle with a Restricted-Service Defect (RSD) may be placed out of service or permitted to travel directly to a repair facility within 25 miles of the inspection site. Other defect-related violations (not listed) allow a trip to be completed but must be corrected before subsequent dispatch. Notably, faulty coupling devices on bobtail tractors do not warrant an OOSD or RSD judgment.
