Thousands of Trucks and Drivers Placed Out of Service The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) released the results of its 2025 International Roadcheck, revealing that brake-related issues remain the top cause of trucks being placed out of service. During the 72-hour inspection event held May 13–15, enforcement officials across North America performed more than 56,000 inspections on commercial trucks and drivers. Nearly one in five vehicles inspected — 18.1% — were placed out of service for serious safety violations. While the vehicle out-of-service rate improved from 23% in 2024, the driver out-of-service rate rose to 5.9%, up from last year’s 4.8%.

Editor’s Note: This article is part of “The Unfinished Revolution,” a project exploring 250 years of the American experiment. To be a patriot in Donald Trump’s America is like sitting through a loved one’s trial for some gruesome crime.
