How to use station-level data

  1. Note the station's typical activity hours. Use the monthly inspection volume chart on this page to see when COACHELLA has historically been most active. FMCSA does not publish official hours, so the inspection record is the closest proxy.
  2. Check what level of inspection typically happens here. The Inspection Level Breakdown shows what mix of CVSA Level I, II, III, IV, V, and VI inspections this site runs. Expect the level-mix at the next visit to look similar.
  3. Review the most-cited violation codes. Codes that show up most often in the violations summary tell you what inspectors at this station focus on — often brake-system, lighting, tire, or hours-of-service items.
  4. Pre-trip your truck against those specific codes. Walk-around the tractor and trailer and physically verify each item the top codes describe. A 5-minute pre-trip aligned to this station's hot codes is far more efficient than a generic checklist.
  5. Track your own inspection history at /usdot/{your-USDOT}/inspections/. After every inspection, confirm the report shows up on your USDOT profile within 30 days. Disputes (DataQs) must be filed against your own record, not the station's.

Frequently asked questions about COACHELLA

What kind of inspections happen at COACHELLA?
COACHELLA primarily conducts Level V — Vehicle Only inspections under CVSA North American Standard procedures. Inspections include credential checks (USDOT, MC docket, insurance), driver fitness review (CDL, medical card, hours-of-service), and a vehicle examination scaled to the inspection level.
How many trucks have been inspected here?
FMCSA records show 172 inspections between Jan 1, 2020 and Feb 20, 2026. The figure counts every roadside inspection report tied to this site, not unique vehicles — a truck inspected twice in one year shows up twice.
What's the out-of-service rate at this station?
1.2% of inspections at COACHELLA ended with the vehicle, driver, or both placed out of service. The OOS rate measures how often inspectors find a defect serious enough to halt operation on the spot — flat tires, brake-system failures, expired medicals, or hours-of-service violations are the most common triggers.
Where exactly is this station located?
COACHELLA is somewhere in California. FMCSA's public file does not name a city or coordinates for this site; the state DOT is the authoritative source for the physical address.
When is this station typically active?
Over the past 24 months COACHELLA has averaged about 7 inspections per month, with a peak of 16 in 2024-08. FMCSA does not publish staffed hours; activity levels are inferred from the inspection record.
What violations are most commonly cited here?
COACHELLA has fewer than 50 violation citations on file — too few to identify a stable pattern. Pre-trip your truck against the full FMCSR Part 392/393/396 checklist regardless of which station you expect to encounter.
Can I avoid this station?
Most weigh stations and inspection sites are positioned on principal Interstate corridors and require all commercial vehicles to enter when staffed. Carriers enrolled in PrePass, Drivewyze, or BestPass with a clean safety record can be electronically pre-cleared and bypass the scale; carriers with poor safety scores are denied bypass and required to pull in. Detouring to avoid an open scale is generally illegal.
How does this station compare to others in California?
COACHELLA ranks #772 of 886 California stations by OOS rate. The state-wide OOS rate across all 886 comparable California stations is 15.3% versus this site's 1.2%.

About FMCSA inspection stations

FMCSA inspection stations — sometimes called weigh stations, scales, or ports of entry — are the physical points where state law-enforcement officers stop commercial motor vehicles to conduct safety inspections, weight checks, and credential verification. The federal Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) funds the inspector workforce; the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) defines the inspection-level standards (Levels I through VI). Every report becomes part of FMCSA's national inspection file, which is what TruckCodex mirrors here.

A station's "OOS rate" — out-of-service rate — measures the share of inspections that ended with the vehicle, driver, or both placed out of service. A high OOS rate doesn't necessarily mean the inspectors are stricter; more often it reflects the population of carriers passing through the corridor. A low OOS rate often means the station is on a route used by larger, well-maintained fleets running regular pre-trip programs.

TruckCodex is not affiliated with the FMCSA, MCSAP, CVSA, or any state DOT. Every station record on this site is sourced from the public FMCSA inspection file and refreshed daily. We do not publish staffed hours, schedule changes, or upcoming enforcement details — those would not be public to begin with. For the live status of any specific station, contact the operating state's commercial-vehicle enforcement bureau.
