01 Enforcement

Out-of-Service Rates

In 2025, 2,915,047 roadside inspections were run in the United States and 549,378 of them — 18.8% — ended with the driver, the truck, or both ordered out of service. Where you get stopped matters: the strictest state writes an order roughly 4.3 times as often as the most lenient.

33.7% — Wyoming (14,753 inspections)
30.7% — Oregon (19,968 inspections)
28.5% — Arizona (53,401 inspections)

02 Causes

What Puts a Truck Out of Service

Every violation written out of service at a roadside inspection in FMCSA's current file, grouped by the regulation cited. These count violations, not inspections — one stop can write several. Equipment defects dominate, and within them it is overwhelmingly tires, brakes and lamps: the things a walk-around would have caught.

Equipment defects — brakes, tires, lights, cargo securement 58.4%

1,391,661 out-of-service violations · 49 CFR 393

Inspection, repair and maintenance 12.8%

305,456 out-of-service violations · 49 CFR 396

Hours of service and ELD 8.6%

204,238 out-of-service violations · 49 CFR 395

Driver qualification and medical certificate 7.4%

176,163 out-of-service violations · 49 CFR 391

CDL — license class, endorsements, validity 6.2%

148,786 out-of-service violations · 49 CFR 383

Driving of commercial motor vehicles 5.2%

123,142 out-of-service violations · 49 CFR 392

03 Crashes

Commercial Vehicle Crashes

FMCSA's crash file counts every police-reported crash involving a commercial vehicle — fatal, injury, and tow-away — and is rebuilt daily. NHTSA FARS counts only fatal crashes and runs about two years behind, because it waits for every case to be confirmed.

05 Roads

Miles Driven and Miles Built

American vehicles covered 3,290,491 million miles in 2024 across 4,206,937 miles of public road, of which 48,821 miles are Interstate — 1.2% of the network carrying a wildly disproportionate share of the freight.

Rules That Go With These Numbers

Data Sources

FMCSA Company Census — Motor carrier registrations, driver counts, and power units from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Rebuilt daily from the MCS-150 filings carriers are required to keep current.

FMCSA Crash File (MCMIS) — Police-reported crashes involving commercial vehicles, as filed by the states. Rebuilt daily; the most recent year is incomplete because reports keep arriving for months afterwards.

FMCSA Vehicle Inspection File — Roadside inspections, violations, and out-of-service orders. Rebuilt daily. The violation ranking comes from FMCSA's companion violation file, a rolling snapshot of roughly the last three years.

NHTSA FARS — Fatal crash statistics from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, published through USDOT/BTS. Currently FARS 2024 (initial release — numbers may still be revised). Updated annually.

FHWA Highway Statistics — Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), highway mileage, and interstate mileage from the Federal Highway Administration. Published annually, about eighteen months in arrears.

All figures are US federal government data in the public domain. We aggregate and present them; we do not adjust them.
