Commercial Zone Inspections
|
|
|
Commercial Zone Inspections are roadside inspections that occur in counties with border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico Border. (Click here for border crossing summary statistics from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.)
Roadside Inspections are examinations of commercial motor vehicles and/or drivers by Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) Inspectors.
|
|
MCSAP Inspectors conduct roadside inspections on commercial motor vehicles and drivers to check that they are in compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and/or Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs). If an inspection results in serious violations, the driver will be issued a driver or vehicle Out-of-Service Order. These violations must be corrected before the driver or vehicle can return to service.
