Supplementary notes

A roadside inspection is an examination of individual or commercial motor vehicles and drivers to determine if they are in compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations or Hazardous Materials Regulations. If a serious violation is detected, the driver is issued an out-of-service order. The violation must then be corrected before the driver of vehicle may return to service.
Trucks are taken out of service (OOS) when inspectors find serious violations that warrant the issuance of a driver or vehicle OOS order, such as hazardous mechanical condition, hazardous materials onboard, or lack of required operating authority.
There may be data inconsistencies across the 2004 to 2006 time series. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) obtained the data at different times and was unable to verify the consistency of the entire data series prior to publication of the TSAR.
