Oregon Commercial Vehicle Inspection
Decal
The North American Standard Level I

may apply decals to vehicles in accordance with the procedures contained in the

Commercial Vehicle Inspection Reciprocity
In general, vehicles displaying a valid
Oregon Commercial Vehicle Inspection Decal are not subject to re-inspection. However,
if an obvious defect is noticed on a vehicle with a current decal, nothing prevents
a party from re-inspecting that vehicle. Maximum reciprocity will be granted to
inspections conducted pursuant to the North American Standard Inspection procedures
by other jurisdictions.

Out-of-Service Criteria, as recognized by USDOT, in effect April 1, 2015, is adopted
and incorporated into this rule. Inspection violations identified in the Out-of-Service
Criteria may be subject to out-of-service action. Condition(s) categorized as “Out-of-Service”
must not be allowed to continue in commerce until the condition(s) is/are corrected
and the shipment complies with Title 49, CFR. If at the discretion of the inspector,
it is less hazardous to the public to relocate the vehicle, it will be towed, transported,
or escorted to a safe location only at the direction of an official authority.

North American Standard Vehicle
Out-of-Service Criteria
The North American Standard Vehicle
Out-of-Service Criteria, as recognized by USDOT, in effect April 1, 2015, is adopted
by and incorporated into this rule. Inspection violations identified in the Out-of-Service
Criteria may be subject to one or more of the following:
(1) Out-of-Service Condition:
When any motor vehicle by reason of its mechanical condition or loading, is determined
to be so unsafe as to likely cause an accident or breakdown or when such conditions
would likely contribute to loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, said vehicle
must be placed out-of-service. No motor carrier shall permit or require nor shall
any person operate any motor vehicle declared and marked “out-of-service”
until all required repairs of violations which resulted in the out-of-service condition
have been completed. If, at the discretion of the inspector, it is less hazardous
to the public to relocate the vehicle, it will be towed, transported or escorted
only at the direction of an official authority.
(2) Other: Violations other
than out-of-service conditions detected during the inspection process will not preclude
the completion of the current trip or dispatch. However, such violations must be
corrected or repaired prior to redispatch.
