How to Find Inspections
Quickest paths to a specific inspection record from this hub.
- By USDOT number — use the search bar above or browse carriers by state, then open the carrier's inspection history.
- By state — open the states index, or use each row in the "By State" table below for a state page with location clusters and level/OOS/HazMat filters.
- By inspection station — browse /stations/ to drill into any weigh station or fixed-inspection site by state.
- By violation code — look up specific FMCSR citations at /violations/ to see carriers and stations tied to each code.
- By VIN or plate — enter a 17-character VIN at /vin/ or a license plate via the search bar to see every inspection tied to that unit.

Inspection Levels
The CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) North American Standard defines six roadside inspection levels. Each has a distinct scope and triggers different out-of-service (OOS) criteria.
Full Inspection
The most comprehensive check: driver credentials and hours of service, brake systems, tires, lighting, coupling, frame, fuel system, hazmat placarding, and cargo securement. A single OOS violation at this level removes the unit or driver from service until corrected.
Level 2Walk-Around Driver/Vehicle
Same scope as Level 1 minus items that require going under the truck. Driver documents and exterior vehicle condition are reviewed; brake-chamber travel and the underside are skipped.
Level 3Driver-Only
CDL, medical card, hours-of-service log, seat-belt use, alcohol/drug use, shipping papers, and HAZMAT/endorsements. No vehicle inspection component.
Level 4Special Inspection
One-time examination for a specific item, typically tied to a research study or a focused enforcement initiative. Scope is narrow and pre-defined.
Level 5Vehicle-Only
A Level 1 performed at the carrier terminal or maintenance yard with no driver present. Commonly used for annual fleet compliance verification.
Level 6Radioactive Materials
Enhanced inspection for vehicles transporting highway-route-controlled quantities of radiological material. Adds radiological survey + enhanced shipping-paper review on top of Level 1.
Inspection Volume by Level
Total inspections and out-of-service outcomes on file in FMCSA MCMIS, per CVSA level.
| Level | Inspections | Out-of-Service | OOS Rate |

| Level III — Driver Only | 3,300,728 | 195,938 | 5.9 % |
| Level IV — Special | 12,133 | 2,241 | 18.5 % |
| Level V — Vehicle Only | 284,410 | 11,960 | 4.2 % |
| Level VI — Radioactive | 83 | 1 | 1.2 % |
