Common out-of-service items

Brakes (air leaks, out-of-adjustment), lights, tires, steering/suspension, and load securement are the most-cited OOS violations. Most are repairable on-site.

Clearing the violation

A mobile tech can fix qualifying defects roadside and document the repair so you can clear the OOS order and resume your run.

Request DOT-defect repair

Describe the defect and attach supporting details. If an eligible approved provider responds, review the ETA and customer-facing all-in total before assignment and retain the completed repair record.
