Go back over the years. The only thing different about this year is tires didn't make the list.

If the slacks are off by 1/4" that constitutes a failure. The HoS can be traced back to the company if needed. The ELD doesn't lie, it can't. It only does what it's programmed to do.

It says in the article tires were the second most common out of service item to include improper inflation, tread depth, sidewall damage ect.

HoS violations come down to three things typically, 1. A driver choosing to exceed the hours, 2. Inclimate weather or a road problem that causes you to go over, which with a valid reason noted on the log will typically not result in an OoS or a ticket, and 3 . Improper use of Personal Conveyance. Dispatch can not force you to do anything if you're out of time. I literally just had a conversation with a friend of mine about this because his employer Essentially wants him to make delivery on time in a non-legal way, when he told them at the time assigned the load that he didn't have the hours to make the appointment and could deliver the next day.

There are some things that do fall into that officer discretion category. And that is where I think the system is flawed. I feel anything in the OoS criteria should be 100% pass/fail standard/
