Trucking company violations

The federal agency responsible for regulating trucking has allowed swaths of the industry to operate with minimal or no oversight. This has happened even as the frequency of fatal crashes involving trucks soared in recent years and despite data showing that trucking violations are common. On average, one in every five roadside truck inspections in the United States uncovers a violation that requires the vehicle to be taken out of service. About one in 20 inspections of truck drivers concludes with a violation that sidelines the driver. For some companies, the rates are much worse. Use the drop-down menus to see which companies in your home state racked up the most vehicle and driver violations over the past two years.
