How the rates are counted

An out-of-service order stops a vehicle or driver from operating until a recorded violation is corrected. The vehicle rate is the share of Level I, II and V inspections (the levels that examine the vehicle) that put the vehicle out of service. The driver rate is the share of Level I, II and III inspections (the levels that examine the driver) that put the driver out of service. Enforcement intensity varies by state, so a higher state rate reflects how inspections were recorded there, not necessarily worse carriers.

Coverage and source

The by-state table covers the 50 states plus DC and Puerto Rico, and a state’s rate is shown only when at least 100 relevant inspections were recorded in the window.
