Roadside inspections are recorded in FMCSA's systems and affect a carrier's safety measurement scores. Clean inspections help; violations hurt for up to two years.
Log each inspection

Fix and dispute
Repair violations right away and keep the receipt. If a report has an error, it can be challenged through FMCSA's DataQs system.
