This study employs data gathered by the Federal Highway Administration surrounding two MCSAP activities: compliance reviews and roadside inspections. It specifically investigates the change in a carrier's annual out-of-service violation rate (OOS) in response to receiving a review or a higher number of inspections. A measurable reduction in a carrier's OOS rate occurs in the year after a CR, according to the data. The annual OOS rate appears to be a viable measure of the impact of a compliance review, given that a carrier's vehicles and drivers are adequately inspected in the year following a CR.en-USCommercial vehiclesOut of service violationRoadside inspectionCompliance reviewsFederal Motor Carrier Safety RegulationReport
