Questions & Answers

Direct answers grounded in TruckCodex inspection data

Will 374.317-PC put my truck out of service?

No. Across our inspection records, 374.317-PC has never resulted in an out-of-service placement. All 23 all-time citations for this code resulted in warnings or fines only—a 0.0% OOS rate. This is significantly more lenient than the national average of 31.4% across all FMCSR violations. You will not be ordered off the road for this citation alone.

How many times is 374.317-PC actually cited?

Very rarely. Our database shows only 23 all-time citations for 374.317-PC, with zero citations in the last 12 months and zero in the last 90 days. This ranks the code #1881 out of 3,036 FMCSR codes by citation volume—making it one of the least-cited violations in the federal database. If you've been cited for this, you're in an uncommon enforcement scenario.

What do I do right after getting cited for 374.317-PC?

Immediate steps:

  1. Request a copy of the inspection report and citation from the officer.
  2. Document the vehicle condition and date/time of the stop with photos.
  3. Review your company's maintenance records for the cited equipment or procedure.
  4. Notify your fleet safety manager or carrier immediately.
  5. Do not ignore the citation—respond within the deadline (typically 10–30 days depending on your state).
  6. If you believe the citation is inaccurate, file a DataQs request through FMCSA's Safety Management System to dispute it within 90 days of issuance.

Is 374.317-PC serious compared to other violations?

No. This code is low-severity by enforcement pattern. It has a 0.0% out-of-service rate compared to the national average of 31.4%. Peer codes in the same category show similarly lenient enforcement: 376.11(d)(1) (6,383 citations, 0.0% OOS), 376.11D1 (1,258 citations, 0.0% OOS), and 107.620B (486 citations, 0.0% OOS). A 374.317-PC citation will not damage your safety record as severely as many other FMCSR violations.

Which carriers get cited most for 374.317-PC?

Our inspection records show TUFESA USA LLC (USDOT 1215199) accounts for 11 of the 23 all-time citations—nearly half the total enforcement volume. The next most-cited carriers are AUTOBUSES EJECUTIVOS LLC (3 citations) and CONFORT TRAVEL LLC (2 citations). The concentration among passenger transportation and shuttle operators suggests this violation is tied to specific operational or documentation practices in that sector.

Can I contest a 374.317-PC citation through DataQs?

Yes. If you believe the citation is factually or legally incorrect, you can file a DataQs request through FMCSA's Safety Management System within 90 days of the violation date. DataQs allows you to challenge documentation errors, inaccurate vehicle identifications, or misapplied regulations. Submit your evidence (maintenance records, photos, dispatch logs, or testimony) to support your case. Approval removes the citation from your CSA scores and carrier record.

How urgent is fixing a 374.317-PC violation?

Low urgency for repair. Because 374.317-PC has a 0.0% out-of-service rate and zero citations in the last 90 days, this is not an active enforcement priority. However, you should still correct the underlying issue documented in your citation (equipment, procedure, or documentation) within 30 days to avoid re-citation. Verify compliance with your carrier and document the corrective action in your maintenance or operational records.

Does a 374.317-PC citation follow the driver or the carrier?

In FMCSA's CSA system, violations are attributed to the carrier (your employer) and appear on their safety record. However, the specific violation and inspection may be documented with your name as the driver of record. Both the carrier BASIC and driver BASIC can be affected depending on the violation category. Always confirm with your fleet safety manager whether this citation impacts your personal driving record or only the company's safety profile.
