For every commercial driver on the road, safety and compliance are top priorities. Roadside
inspections are conducted every day across the U.S., and common roadside violations can
quickly lead to costly fines, delays, or even being placed out of service. At U.S. Carrier
Registration (UCR), we help carriers and drivers stay compliant and avoid unnecessary
setbacks.
The Most Common Roadside Violations
Hours of Service (HOS) Violations
Drivers who exceed their legal driving limits or fail to properly log their hours often face
HOS violations. Electronic Logging Device (ELD) compliance is a must.
Vehicle Maintenance Issues
Faulty brakes, worn tires, broken lights, or windshield wipers are among the top roadside
violations. Regular inspections and preventive maintenance can save time and money.
Driver Documentation Errors
Missing or outdated CDL, medical cards, or logbooks can cause drivers serious trouble
during an inspection. Always keep your paperwork current and easily accessible.
Cargo Securement
Improperly secured loads are not just violations — they’re dangerous. Drivers must
ensure all cargo is tied down correctly to avoid accidents and fines.
Unsafe Driving Behaviors
Speeding, improper lane changes, or using handheld devices are common reasons drivers
are cited. Staying alert and driving defensively reduces risk.
Why Compliance Matters
For drivers and carriers, avoiding roadside violations means more than just avoiding fines — it
means safer roads, fewer delays, and better business reputation. Consistent compliance protects
your operating authority and keeps your fleet running smoothly.
