North American Standard Vehicle Out-of-Service Criteria
(1) The North American Standard Vehicle Out-of-Service Criteria, published by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, in effect April 1, 2009, is adopted by and incorporated into this rule. Inspection violations identified in the chart may be subject to one or more of the following:
(a) Out-of-Service Condition: When any motor vehicle by reason of its mechanical condition or loading, is determined to be so unsafe as to likely cause an accident or breakdown, or when such conditions would likely contribute to loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, said vehicle shall be placed out-of-service. No motor carrier shall permit or require nor shall any person operate any motor vehicle declared and marked “out-of-service” until all required repairs of violations which resulted in the out-of-service condition have been completed. If, at the discretion of the inspector, it is less hazardous to the public to relocate the vehicle, it shall be towed, transported, or escorted only at the direction of an official authority.
(b) Other: Violations other than out-of-service conditions detected during the inspection process will not preclude the completion of the current trip or dispatch. However, such violations must be corrected or repaired prior to redispatch.
(2) Copies of the North American Standard Vehicle Out-of-Service Criteria are available from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance at: 1101 17th St NW, Suite 803, Washington, DC 20036.
