وصف
Stay inspection-ready and compliant with the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria Handbook and Pictorial Edition – 2025 Edition, Spiral Bound. This essential CVSA publication is the official guide used by law enforcement to determine if a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) or driver should be placed out of service (OOS) during a roadside inspection. It clearly identifies critical vehicle inspection items and outlines the criteria that prohibit a motor carrier or operator from continuing to drive until safety violations are corrected. The 2025 edition includes comprehensive schematics and procedures for a wide range of inspections, including the North American Standard Level I Inspection, Passenger Vehicle Inspection, Hazardous Materials/Dangerous Goods Inspection, Cargo Tank and Bulk Packaging Inspection, and ABS inspections (U.S. and Canada). Also included are the Mexican CDL reference (Licencia Federal de Conductor) and Performance-Based Brake Testing procedures. New for 2025, this edition introduces several key updates: Drivers supervising commercial learner's permit (CLP) holders must now be fully qualified to operate the vehicle being driven. Drivers without a valid medical certificate when required will be placed out of service—eliminating a prior exception. New equipment-related OOS conditions include mislabeled air hoses, cracked or missing U-bolt plates, and sidewall tire leaks—even when an automatic tire inflation system is active. Whether you're a fleet operator, safety manager, or CMV driver, this handbook is your go-to resource for staying informed and ensuring safety and compliance on the road.
