Questions & Answers

Direct answers grounded in TruckCodex inspection data

Will 374.313A-PC put my truck out of service?

No. Across our inspection records, 374.313A-PC has never resulted in an out-of-service placement—0.0% OOS rate all-time. This code is not OOS-eligible under FMCSR enforcement. However, the national average OOS rate across all codes is 31.4%, so violations in other categories carry substantially higher risk of roadside removal.

Is 374.313A-PC a serious violation?

No, this is a low-enforcement violation. Our database shows only 1 citation issued all-time, placing it at #2796 out of 3,036 FMCSR codes by citation volume. The last 12 months show 0 citations nationwide. For context, peer codes in the same category like 376.11(d)(1) have drawn 6,383 citations, making 374.313A-PC exceptionally rare in enforcement activity.

What do I do right after getting cited for 374.313A-PC?

  1. Document the citation. Request the inspector's badge number and inspection report number.
  2. Review the violation details. Confirm the specific finding code and rationale.
  3. Check for co-occurring violations. Multiple violations on the same inspection are common; ensure you address all cited codes.
  4. Contact your carrier's safety manager (if you're a company driver) or your own records (if owner-op) to begin remedy planning.
  5. Do not ignore it. Even non-OOS citations stay on your record and factor into CSA severity scoring.

How many CSA points does 374.313A-PC carry?

CSA point values are assigned by FMCSA based on violation severity and recency. The statistics available do not include CSA point weights for this specific code. Contact your carrier's compliance department or the FMCSA directly to confirm the point value applicable to your citation. Points typically range from 1 to 10 depending on the violation category and your violation history.

Can I contest or dispute a 374.313A-PC citation?

Yes. You can challenge any citation through the DataQs (DataQuality System) operated by FMCSA. Submit your Request for Data Review (RDR) within 90 days of citation. Disputes succeed when you can show the finding was factually incorrect, the inspector lacked authority, or documentation proves compliance. Since 374.313A-PC citations are rare, your best strategy is to gather all evidence (logs, records, photos) and file the RDR with clear explanation of why the violation did not occur.

Where do most 374.313A-PC citations get issued?

Our data shows only 1 citation all-time for 374.313A-PC, issued to FLO CHARTER LLC (USDOT 3651914). Because enforcement volume is so low, there is no meaningful geographic concentration. This code is too rare to identify a state trend. If you received this citation, you are likely part of an isolated or targeted enforcement action rather than a systematic pattern.

Is 374.313A-PC enforcement trending up or down?

Enforcement is flat and minimal. Our records show 1 all-time citation, 0 in the last 12 months, and 0 in the last 90 days. This code is not a priority violation in roadside inspection operations. Compared to peer codes like 376.11(d)(1) (6,383 citations), 374.313A-PC is rarely cited, suggesting either high compliance across the industry or that the violation triggers infrequently during inspections.

Does this violation follow the driver or the carrier in CSA records?

FMCSA CSA violations are attributed to both the driver and the carrier. The citation will appear on your driving record (affecting your PSP score) and on the carrier's safety management profile. If you drive for a company, the violation contributes to the carrier's BASIC categories (Safety, Maintenance, Fitness). As an owner-operator or independent contractor, it affects your carrier-level metrics directly. Your CSA profile will reflect this citation for up to 3 years from the violation date.
