What 392.2SLLHOS means
State/Local Laws - State/Local Hours of Service
This citation references a state or local law under 49 CFR 392.2. The exact ordinance depends on the inspection jurisdiction and the text written on the inspection report — TruckCodex mirrors the FMCSA code catalog, not the full text of every state statute.
CSA/SMS severity weight 7 on FMCSA's 1–10 scale in the Hours of Service BASIC.
Out-of-service eligible — an inspector can place the driver or vehicle out of service until the condition is corrected. Observed OOS rate in our mirror: 20.3% (419 of 2,069 citations).
2,069 citations recorded in the FMCSA inspection mirror across 1,660 carriers.

How to use this code
CSA weight, OOS trigger, inspector focus, fix path, and DataQs — from published FMCSA fields and citation counts on this page
CSA / SMS weight
Severity weight 7 (1–10). Higher weights correlate more strongly with crash risk in FMCSA's published table. Rolls into the Hours of Service BASIC. SMS applies time weights (3× / 2× / 1×) over a 24-month window before ranking carriers by percentile.
OOS trigger
This code is OOS-eligible under CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria. A roadside finding can stop the trip until the defect or condition is corrected. In our mirror, 20.3% of 392.2SLLHOS citations (419 of 2,069) carried an OOS flag.
What inspectors typically check
FMCSR violations for exceeding driving hours, falsifying logs, missing ELD data, and failure to maintain records of duty status.
- Hours-of-Service limits (11-hour drive, 14-hour window, 60/70-hour weekly)
- ELD status, malfunction indicators, and unassigned driving time
- Record of duty status accuracy vs. supporting documents
Fix and prevent
- Correct the underlying condition before the next trip — an OOS-eligible finding can park the truck or driver immediately.
- Audit ELD unassigned time, form-and-manner errors, and limit breaches in the 24-hour window before dispatch.
- Keep the correction in the compliance file — undocumented fixes look the same as non-compliance in a review.
DataQs challenge grounds
Carriers and drivers can file a Request for Data Review within 24 months when the record itself looks wrong. Common accepted grounds:
- Wrong violation code for the condition the inspector described
- Citation attributed to the wrong USDOT, driver, or unit
- Condition was already corrected / not present when the report was finalized
- Supporting evidence (photos, receipts, calibration, ELD extract) contradicts the citation
For brokers and shippers
High severity (7/10) — repeated citations on a carrier's recent inspections are a stronger diligence flag than low-weight administrative codes. OOS-eligible: a fresh citation can mean the load was interrupted at roadside until repaired. Most-cited carrier in our table: QQ SERVICE CORPORATION (4 citations). 1,660 carriers have at least one 392.2SLLHOS citation in the mirror — open a carrier's inspection list to see whether this code is a pattern or a one-off.

How to comply with violation code 392.2SLLHOS
- Locate the regulation in the eCFR. Open https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/section-392.2 on eCFR.gov to read the legal text the citation is written against. The eCFR is the National Archives' continuously updated electronic Code of Federal Regulations and is the canonical reference for any FMCSR section.
- Determine if your operation is subject. Confirm whether your operation is interstate (always subject to the FMCSR) or intrastate (subject when your state has adopted 49 CFR Part 350 by reference; most have). Intrastate operators in non-adopting states may be subject to a state analog instead of the federal rule.
- Identify the documented requirement. Read the requirement carefully: "State/Local Laws - State/Local Hours of Service" Map it to the specific equipment, driver document, or operational practice it covers.
- Inspect or maintain to standard. Build a recurring inspection or training routine that catches this defect before a roadside inspector does. Because 392.2SLLHOS is OOS-eligible, a single citation can park the truck or driver until the condition is corrected — pre-trip checks, scheduled PMs, and supervisor reviews are the cheap places to find it.
- Document compliance to demonstrate it on review. Keep a dated, signed record of each inspection, repair, training session, or filing tied to 392.2SLLHOS. During an FMCSA compliance review or a customer onboarding audit, the documentation is what proves the program runs — undocumented compliance is indistinguishable from non-compliance to the auditor.

About FMCSA violation codes
Every violation found during an FMCSA roadside inspection is recorded under a code drawn from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations — the codified safety rules motor carriers, drivers, and commercial motor vehicles must comply with in interstate commerce. Codes roll up into one of seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs): Unsafe Driving, Hours-of-Service, Driver Fitness, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, Vehicle Maintenance, Hazardous Materials Compliance, and Crash Indicator. Each code carries a published severity weight (1–10) and an Out-of-Service eligibility flag.
Citations counted in the FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) feed a 24-month rolling percentile rank for every motor carrier. Recent citations weigh more heavily than older ones — FMCSA applies a 3× multiplier to events 0–6 months old, 2× for 6–12 months, and 1× for 12–24 months. Carriers above the published intervention threshold for a given BASIC are prioritized for warning letters, focused investigations, and full compliance reviews.
TruckCodex mirrors the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) and the published violation dictionary on a daily refresh cycle. We do not author or modify violation records — every count, severity weight, and OOS flag on this page reflects what the FMCSA has on file. For real-time confirmation immediately before an enforcement decision, click through to the FMCSA Violations Search link above. Carriers who believe a citation was recorded in error can file a Request for Data Review through the FMCSA DataQs system.
