As a motor carrier that also tenders chassis, do violations found on the chassis impact my Safety Measurement System scores?

Yes, violations that are discovered during a roadside inspection on a chassis that has been tendered by a motor carrier may impact a carrier’s CSMS. It is dependent on whether the violations found during the roadside inspection could have been visually and audibly detected during a driver’s pre-trip inspection and whether the operator of the chassis conducted a pre-trip inspection.
