In all, 708 Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) inspectors performed 62,370 vehicle inspections in 1,449 locations around the country. 6.2 percent of non-hazmat drivers were placed out of service. 3.5 percent of hazmat drivers were placed out of service. 21.5 percent of non-hazmat vehicles were placed out of service. 17.7 percent of hazmat vehicles were placed out of service. The numbers of violations were up from last year. Last years numbers were up from the year before. Let’s hope the trend doesn’t continue next year.
