An out-of-service order means a vehicle or driver was not allowed to continue until a violation was fixed. Our share counts every inspection, of any type, since January 2024.

For context, FMCSA's national averages on SAFER as of 09/25/2026: 22.26% of vehicle inspections and 6.67% of driver inspections end in an out-of-service order. Those are measured over 24 months and by inspection type, so they aren't the same figure as ours.

Part 9Before you hire or haul

  • Match the USDOT number on the truck's door to this record, and the company name to the one you were quoted.
  • For-hire across state lines needs active authority and insurance on file. "None" on a company that wants your freight is a stop sign.
  • Call the telephone number on this record, not the one on a flyer, and ask for the MC number.
  • For a move, get a written estimate and read FMCSA's Protect Your Move first.
